I wanted to send mail, and quit the program. I didn't want to have to make sure the LAN was on-line to the ISP, I didn't want to have to manually send later because it wasn't (whether that be dial-up that's not up at the moment, or an ISP with a SMTP server that was down). Because, not only was that inconvenient, I might forget to send some mail, because "later" was the next day. With a local SMTP service, things were taken care of, automatically. I hit send, and the mail is queued and actually sent along when it's possible to do so. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
