Yep, I
To clarify my last response.
Lets say you have a windows workstation with Eudora. It keeps its own
outbox, inbox and folders.
ssmtp allows you do so much the same thing with a Unix workstation. You
set up your mail client ... say ... xfmail ... to pull the mail from your
pop3 account and to send
Probably not. What you probably should do in your case is to tell exim to
listen only to 127.0.0.1.
ssmtp is not designed to store mail locally on the system. It moves
responsiblity for storing local mail to the MUA.

Thanks, I didn't know this existed.

Maybe the correct answer for this user is not to use exim at all but to
use ssmtp which is, I think, the tool designed for this job.

What about local_interfaces in your exim.conf?
local_interfaces = "192.168.1.1:127.0.0.1" for example.
Just remove the IP address of your ppp interface from the option.

Hi all,
A home user typically receives e-mail with a pop program (fetchmail), and
therefore he has no use for his MTA _listening_ for incoming mail on inet
port 25, am I right? Because I assume fetchmail passes its load on to the
MTA via the local interface, 127.0.0.1, isn't it so?
Therefore it
