Hello. Just to confirm: if I use dial-up connection on my laptop and use the ISP's smtp server to send emails, I don't really need sendmail's most functions, so it is safe to set 'sendmail="NO"' in rc.conf without loosing local emails like "weekly run output", is it? I was told nowadays many spam filters only accept smtp server's email when the smtp server is in the same domain as the sender's email address. So it seems I better not use the sendmail on my laptop to send emails in case they are filtered. Should I? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ 与联机的朋友进行交流，请使用 MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn
