It has been noted by other people on NANOG that I am talking about an MUA
instead of an MTA. That is correct, I got them mixed up by accident, but
my argument still stands, just substitute MTA for MUA.

For your information, when I read and post to NANOG I actually do it
from home, using MUTT as an MUA and sendmail as an MTA.
