Using "sendmail" is usually a generic term for calling sendmail directly or a sendmail wrapper(postfix, qmail and maybe exim have them), which allows you to spool to your local mail system without connecting over a network(some systems don't have a MTA listening on a port), it can be faster too. by doing this you sometimes have more control over the message delivery then if you were to use a remote mail server. you could have the mail server queue the message and send it when your system connects to the internet(in the case that its not a dedicated connection). since I run my own mail servers i usually just use SMTP(my mail client of choice is Squirrelmail and netscape 4.7x) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
