All kppp needs is the telephone number. It echoes an address something like gyle-du.95.access.demon.net when it connects. I have never needed to know the address of the SMTP server. That is all I know about how my machine connects to the Internet.
You were suggesting that Sylpheed can be set up to run pppd and dial out and fetch mail? In other words it could replace postfix and kppp entirely? Excuse me if I seem dense, but that's the truth. Thanks again for your suggestion. -- Len Lawrence
