Besides, I do a lot of development work for the Openwall distro which tries fairly hard to get away without installing lots of cruft.

"mail" uses the "local on Junio's laptop" SMTP server so he can configure it any way he wants. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
