To clarify, I did not write the above words. I use fetchmail and exim to
get mail from a POP server (fetchmail) and deliver it via my mail
spooling system (exim). I use exim to act as my outgoing mail server as
well, thus providing mail delivery services in both directions.
Dale, to echo the above sentiment, why can't you run exim or some other
MTA on your box and then use a SMTP server of localhost in pine? It'll
deliver mail regardless of the ISP you're connected to.
