My setup is: getmail -> maildrop/mailfilter -> mutt -> dma I'm uncertain how to use dma for system mail messages, ex cron output. dma's docs say that it doesn't listen on port 25. I had found a web site that showed how to replace sendmail with dma, but can't find it again. Forgot what words I searched on. Scott Kern
