Thanks for the advice yesterday.

I've closed mail ports other than 25 in my router's firewall.

"telnet local 25" logged in to postfiox.

I found an antique ~/.forward that was sending messages to never-never-
land. I removed it and now I can read messages I send to myself using
"mail" but I haven't been able to set up an evolution account.

I tried to set up an evolution account but I don't know what to put in
"Server Type" on the "Receiving Mail" page for a new account. I tried
"None," hoping that would be "no external serer" but the account
doesn't appear in the left sidebar. At least I don't get "unable to …"
when I pick it from the "Send/Receive" button. Yeah, the "Enabled" box
is checked. The "Type" column says "SMTP."
