Correct, for example at the prompt, I type 'mail' and it either takes me to my user's mailbox or it says, no mail...this is Sendmail running, correct? >Ok here is some vocabulary: (off the top of my head >so be skeptical) >MUA- Mail user agent - the program you use to read >your email and >send out >emails, examples are mutt elm, pine Eudora, "outlook" >etc..
