You want to know what commands you use from the keyboard to do these things? Correct so far? Ok here is some vocabulary: (off the top of my head so be skeptical) MUA- Mail user agent - the program you use to read your email and send out emails, examples are mutt elm, pine Eudora, "outlook" etc.. This is the program you use all the time and the program you think of as "my email program" MDA - mail delivery agent - procmail, formail (I think.) The program that puts the email in your mail spool file or your email mail box. You will probably never even know that this program is running and will probably never interact with it. MTA - mail transport agent - the program that delivers emails between systems across a LAN and across the internet (also within a system, but thats a minor aspect) Sendmail, is an MTA (so are Qmail and Postfix, I think), Chris you should never see sendmail from your keyboard prompt unless you are trying to diagnose some problems with your mail delivery. Unless I'm mistaken I think you want to know how to use an MUA, i.e. you want to use an email program to read and write email? Do you know which email program you want to use? There are many choices. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
