Actually, you don't. Netscape can gather all the outgoing mail, and send them all in one step the next time you are 'connected' to the Internet. However, I still prefer setting up my own smtp server with sendmail and be allowed to switch between mail-user agents, like Pine, Mutt, Netscape, or whatever. It's not as easy as pushing a few buttons in Netscape, but it makes me feel safer that my mail will be queued in a real MTA's queue and not a certain client's queue where they might stay undelivered until I use that specific client again. On the other hand, I'm probably just being paranoid. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> For my public pgp2 key: finger -l keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
