i have been tinkering around with mailing system options under freebsd and have found most of the options are dependent on entire unnecessary bloated external components. eg.; - fetchmail depends on python, why? - nmh depends on curl and libhttp, why? - getmail depends on python + python config suite, why? somehow, freebsd packages seem to be going the debian way, why? i am willing to abandon "nmh" and be happy with mailx, but how do i get my remote emails onto my local system without having to install a bloated fetchmail package which depends on an entire python programming system? btw, the stock sendmail seems nicely minimalistic, good to know.
