Huh??!?  Since when does where *I* am have anything to do with where my
MTA is?

I access mail via an SSH tunnel to one of my machines at home (under
"screen":  thanks for the tip, Rick!) -- even if I am at home.  (The
laptop's keyboard is the only one I use.  And the laptop runs FreeBSD.)

Also, I run my own MTA at home.  :-}  (Generally, when I update the
"access.db" at home, I also do so for www.baylisa.org, and vice versa.)

Peace,
david      (who has a hard time imagining using a Web broswer as an MUA)

Based on what I have seen to date, the use of Microsoft products is not
consistent with reliability.  I recommend FreeBSD for reliable systems.
