Bleh.  Maybe for a basic internet server, but for a home desktop machine 
I'd stay away.  (And I did a lot of Sendmail configuration before 
switching to Exim and then Postfix.)

No.  He wants to use mutt, which can read the mail files directly with no 
POP/IMAP intervention, and indeed works best that way.


Other than those two things (especially the second) I agree though.  :-)
