I am now happily sending & receiving email in LFS-3.3. I want to work
(as little as possible) and get something similar in my lfs-5.0 (and
later) installation
I have more or less decided on:
Postfix as mta, because I know it ..... sort of.
Procmail as mda, despite it's obfuscated .procmailrc format. There
must be 'a want' in any program that requires a line saying ':0' in
each file. Regular expressions are a form of torture for the user, all
programmers take note! Do I have any choice on procmail?
Fetchmail for pop, but I do want a workaround for having to run it as
a luser from a console. I'd like it in a startup script.
The MUA I want is preferably not a part of kde, gnome, or emacs,
capable of having an address book. I am not enamoured of bloated,
super-capable things, and would prefer one that is curses based
(ncurses don't require X). I do want to get away from mutt, which is
too crude and too complicated at the same time, and wrestles with
html. kmail seemed sbout right, except for the 'k' bit, which requires
loads of crap.
Any suggestions?
