Oh,well...I'm starting X using startx after the login at runlevel=3;
my unique xsession file is the xsession-errors (!)

Great!= Tim you guess the problem:XFMail actually uses SMTP,
and sincerly I ignored completely that Mail-Follow-Up can't
works with SMTP;however XFMail can works with sendmail too
which was the default setting...
if I would choice to use the symbolic link to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
(I've completely wiped away original SENDMAIL from disk)
would I have some worsing performances respect to use qmail via SMTP?
TKS a LOT
Marco.
