<H2><A NAME="s3">3. Sending mail to and receiving mail from the internet</A></H2>
<P>This document does not deal with exchanging mail messages between local
machine and other nodes (inside a local area network or over the
internet). This exchange should be carried out by messages transfer agents
(MTAs) such as <CODE>sendmail</CODE>
<A HREF="http://www.sendmail.org">http://www.sendmail.org</A>, <CODE>qmail</CODE>
<A HREF="http://www.qmail.org">http://www.qmail.org</A>, <CODE>exim</CODE>
<A HREF="http://www.exim.org">http://www.exim.org</A>, <CODE>smail</CODE>
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.planix.com/pub/Smail">ftp://ftp.planix.com/pub/Smail</A>, etc.
<P>In this document it is presupposed that this method of send/receive
messages outside of the local computer is already installed and working in
a correct way. If you can send a message and read your mail with the
<CODE>mail</CODE> command from the command line in your computer,
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
$ mail -s &lt;subject&gt; &lt;user@domain.net&gt;<BR>
write here the text, and finish with an alone point in the next line<BR>
.
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>you must have installed any type of MTA that is doing the messages
transfer. In other way, you can get documentation about setting it up in
the manual pages of <EM>smail</EM>:
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
$ man smail
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>or the MTA that you have, and <EM>fetchmail</EM>:
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
$ man fetchmail
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>or in other similar document that makes reference to those programs.
