Re: Looking for MTA

I'm looking for an MTA. My distro didn't install anything by default,
now I'm trying to figure out which best serves my requirements.
The requirements:

I want to be able to configure it in the following way:
* It should retrieve/send my mail every six hours.
* I should be able to want to also force retrieval/sending at
anytime.
* The method it should use for sending email: any outgoing
email is stored in a folder. When the MTA is started ( to send
email ) the folder is checked. If email is found, then it is
sent.

I have multiple email accounts on multiple email accounts, on multiple
servers. The MTA should put some kind of header in each mail it
receives describing which server the mail came from. Most of the
servers use POP3 with authentication, though a few use SMTP.

All the accounts use SMTP to send mail, I would like the MTA to
read an email message in my outgoing folder and use a header
to determine which email server to use.

Finally it would be nice if there was a Gui that could configure it.
The idea would be something like swat is, where I use swat until
I get used to the sytax of an smb.conf, then just directly edit it. (
Actually I still use it the first time I use a new computer to create
a basic smb.conf file, then configure by hand. ). This isn't a deal
breaker. The simpler the configuration process the better.

Thank you

You don't need a MTA u need a MUA. Ever tried Thunderbird?
