Hmm, well... people _know_ sendmail. But noone _knows_ sendmail... :-)

You also get some extra features mentioned on the website. For example
a webbased configuration module, some TLS support, etc.

It _is_ browserbased.

And you _can_ get a X server for your Windows PC.

It's _not_ X-windows ... it's The X Windowing System. 

And I believe it were you, that started the whole deal about talking
X. If it's browserbased (it is), you can just use your Internet
Explorer on your local machine.

Send him an email instead. That probably means a faster response, as
most answers email even when out of the country.

I have his number too... it's 510 843-xxxx (rest left out to protect
his privacy). Nothing spicy about that.

It doesn't.

There is no "standard" when it comes to such weird things as
Linux. I'm using my own POP3-server, and I mean my own (one that I
wrote myself). It supports the case where you have too identical users
on two seperate domains.

Ofcourse. That's why I wanted an officiel Cobalt update.


BTW: Are my emails to this list _always_ delayed for _long_ periods of
time? (it seems that way to me?)
