Deliver through remote SMTP server. > Default is location of /var/spool/mail. I believe this option should be used when you are NFS mounting a /var/spool/mail directory to several suns. When you send mail, the client sends it to the server, which sends the mail message. Your "From: " line says the mail came from the server. If you set your .forward file to point to your account on the server, then all replies will go to the server. If your workstation is down, you will still get mail. -- Bruce G. Barnett
