The current way I manage my e-mail involves using popclient to get incoming e-mail from my ISP (mail.polaris.net) to dwarf's incoming mail folder on my machine (dwarf.polaris.net), outgoing mail is handled by Pine using SMTP. I would like to try some other mail readers like elm and emacs but none of these seem to be able to do SMTP and so require the presence of a mail-delivery-agent. I know I have heard pro and con discussions about smail vs sendmail but am still confused. Also I hear hints that qmail (?) will soon be a Debian package. I am a complete idiot when it comes to mail systems, so please be simple and clear in your answer ;-) What do I need to understand to install and use any of the available packages? If I am going to go to the trouble of learning to install a mail-delivery-agent I will want to be able to filter mail to various mail-folders based on the source of that mail. If that is not available in the mail-delivery-agent, then point me to a package that will work with the target mail-delivery-agent.
Thanks in advance for any help, Dwarf ------------ -------------- aka Dale Scheetz Phone: 1 (904) 877-0257 Flexible Software Fax: NONE Black Creek Critters e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------ If you don't see what you want, just ask --------------
