It may be mail can't read Maildir, I really haven't looked into it myself, my

might need terminal access to mail accounts. Mutt sounds lie the way to fly.

I kinda assumed it would have to use postfix as sendmail is not installed
(thank christ ;)) so postfix is the only available MDA.

The current server requires authentication to send, and is not exposed outside
the building so in that case I guess I'm pretty well okay?
