Yes! You got it!!! And this was my original question!!!! Which mail client? Remember, I already mentioned mail/mailx/nail. The problem is that the documentation for these is worthless. So if anyone knows how to set up an account using ~/.nailrc and/or ~/.mailrc and/or CL args to set up the connection for /sending/ mail (WithOut a Local Server), we might be able to accomplish something.
I have never used a Linux (or any other Unix system, for that matter) without a locally configured mail system -- it is a sure disaster waiting to happen. Therefore I was never in your situation.
So if your organization asks you to set up 2000 workstations, you install 2000 mail servers? They should give you a plaque on the wall.
Ho hum... I think it has already been stated a mail server is a defined as machine with a capability to deliver to and accept e-Mail from other machines using SMTP, and that using SMTP internally to transmit operational information does not make the machine a mail server!!!. (In the same way that accessing a html document stored locally on a machine with a Web Browser does not make that machine a web server.!!!!) Logic 101 methinks....
