hi Julian,
Sendmail is a mailer daemon who run the MTA (Mail Transfer Protocol).
you dont have to use it if you work with messenger or kmail.
here, i use 4 different programs for emailing:
-Fetchmail, for downloading
-Procmail, for mail filtering
-Mutt, for mailreader and editor
-Sendmail, for sending my email
after setting up those 4 programs, it could make your mail management so easy.
for example here i joined 15mailing list with 3 email addresses with no problem for
sortering, filtering, etc...
if you want to use multiple email account for one user in linux, you should try that.
i hear Postilion (http://www.postilion.org) will have the same capability and running
under
X. (i run Mutt form transparent Eterm in my WindowMaker, for me its look very cute
than any
mail programs under X)
