- on the local machine via SMTP.
-
- If, instead, all your mail sending and receiving occurs on a
- remote POP/SMTP server, you will need to look at the values of the
- variables "localname", "pophost", and "servers":
-
- a) "localname" defines the hostname that nmh considers local.
- If not set, then nmh queries your OS for this value. You will
- want to change this if you wish your e-mail to appear as if it
- originated on the POP server.
-
- b) "pophost" defines the server that runs the POP daemon, and to
- which `inc' and `msgchk' will always query for new mail.
-
- c) "servers" defines the server to which you send outgoing SMTP
- traffic.
-
- If you compile with POP support, but don't want to use it exclusively,
- you can use the `-host' and `-user' options to `inc' and `msgchk'
- rather than hardcoding pophost in `mts.conf'.
