Thanks my friend. Postfix works pretty well :-) There is only problem I found when testing Postfix + mutt: I uses Postfix for smtp and mutt deals with imap for me. But mutt will freeze when the network is off. Therefore, you can not do anything at that time, let alone sending email. Any solution to that? /Yubin
