Is there some way of sending such messages to a local MUA without them leaving |
| 19 |
the box? If I understand this correctly in all options discussed here the |
| 20 |
messages will leave the box via SMTP/UUCP, reach the ISP servers, then the |
| 21 |
relevant (e.g. mail.yahoo.com) mailserver and finally back to the local box |
| 22 |
as incoming mail on the user MUA. |
