Well, although you can send mails with sendmail, I think you're confusing an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) with an MUA (Mail User Agent). Sendmail is an MTA and is primarily used for actually sending emails. Netscape Mail, mutt, pine are examples of MUAs and are used to compose a message and modify mail headers and such. An MUA passes a composed message to an MTA to be sent out. I could be confused as to what you're asking, but your question is itself confusing :) Gabe On Tue, Mar 20, 2001 at 08:17:18AM -0600, Shawn wrote: > Here's a mail question that's more of a personal choice than anything > tech related I think.
