<paxman>Yeeeeeeeeeeees</paxman> I might have to look into this, though I
should probably do it properly and configure diald aswell.

I have to confess zero knowledge of leafnode/fetchmail/sendmail. If I were
to use leafnode and point NS to localhost, how would posting be handled?
Would netscape post messages to localhost which would then be forwarded by
sendmail?
