I don't have my own permanent server yet, and I don't want to have to
forward via the Debian servers if I don't have to.
Is it possible to have the SMTP server on my localhost (my travelling
laptop) configured to try a direct mail connection if possible, and then
only fall back to an external server if that fails (when it hits a
DUL-sensitive server)?
And slightly off-topic, what are the pros and cons of postfix over exim?
