Do I need sendmail? Is that something that is necessary for
Thunderbird? Or is this something that allows me to operate an email
server?
By the way, how do I break the connection between telnet and port 25?
My command prompt hasn't returned. ^C, ^D, ^Z don't work. I could just
close the VT, but I don't want a telnet zombie.
