email programs and filters

[Chris Nestrud]

I have sendmail installed currently, but I also like qmail. It's much 
easier to actually configure. I just haven't actually gotten around to 
installing it. If I can't find something amazing to do with filtering and 
such, to get everything working with one account, I'll go with the 'several 
accounts' option.

And yes, virtual consoles are nice. I started with six, then added six 
more. <grin>
