Using MUAs like Alpine, Mutt and similar, it may probably be a bad idea to not install any local MTA, unless your MUA can deliver mail directly to your ISP. And even if it can - it's quite comfortable to read mail while the mail I just sent gets processed in the background. I've been using ELM for quite a while together with sendmail, and changed to mutt and postfix after they came up. The years went by, and I'm still using my fetchmail-postfix-procmail-mutt combination.. In short: having a local MTA is more of a personal preference. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
