What tasks do you want your mail server to perform? Please be

Thanks, Dan,

All I need from an MTA is:

1) take mail from fetchmail and put it in a mailbox for mutt to display,

2) take mail from mutt and send it to my ISP via smtp

3) take messages from the system, eg: cron and deliver them to that same mailbox

4) take a simple message on the CL such as:

    echo 'blah' | mail -s 'oops' noone@example.com

I've been using exim for years and it works well but is overkill for my needs.

Thanks,

Mike
