I remember having fetchmail deliver my mail to /dev/null after having misconfigured my MTA. I installed one of those "Sending Only" MTAs to use with mutt, and didn't realize that meant that fetchmail would pass it the mail and it would happily vaporize it. I think there's a patch out there to get SMTP support into mutt. I'm going to compile that in one of these days, and free myself of all this MTA madness :) Bijan --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/FYTJUof+95vTyAwRAikvAJ9Jma0bPDW60voULV1CNzuCkr/EjQCfdKSs 4FhvVjPMx/GiDeJ/vPyRQgs= =ZMUF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
