I want to run mutt without it using my installed postfix, but another |
| 5 |
dedicated, external SMTP server instead. I use postfix on the box to |
| 6 |
test things out (like dspam, RBLs, various policy servers & |
| 7 |
content-filters) and I don't want to have to adjust postfix parameters |
| 8 |
or rely on it to be running just to be able to send email with mutt. |

Another scenario (that doesn't apply to me but could apply to others) |
| 11 |
would be that I want to use my ISP's mail server for my email reading |
| 12 |
program, and I also want to be able to use postfix for internal LAN use. |
| 13 |
I wouldn't want to run 2 postfix instances or configure postfix to use |
| 14 |
my ISP as its relayhost which would interfere with other |
| 15 |
functionality as well as be overly complicated. |
