  29. It's not elm at all.. elm is a mail reader - it does not handle the mail
  30. transport at all..
  31. /var/spool/mqueue is the queue directory used by sendmail & the files that
  32. you have described are the standard files that sendmail creates.
  33.  
  34. One assumes that what is happening is that you are originating the mail in
  35. elm & handing it off to sendmail

  40. >"kermit" isn't for sending mails.  MTAs are.
  41.  
  42. In fact, kermit is a transport protocol (I think..)
