   And doing the alternative completely screws anyone who runs qmail and
   still runs a secure SMTP daemon.


in my case, i only run qmail on my mail host.  i don't have things
running on other machines, and with nmh, i tell it to connect to
my mailhost (via the mh.conf "servers" directive).  normally, you
will have a sendmail frontend...


can nmh be configured such that this decision is made _locally_ ?
eg, in mh.conf ?  sigh...
