names for devices and can I make mutt receive and send mail without exim?

[Sean M McMahon]

My cd rom I think is /cdrom, my root partician and all below it is / in 
the harddrive, but how do I save something to my floppy drive?  The second 
question is because I want to either  get rid of my mta altogether or have 
it only wory about local mail.  If anyone knows of a good mutt tutorial on 
how to make it work with pop without using exim, which it's doing now, or 
of a better mailer which will do this, let me know.  I figure I don't 
really need an mta because I am the user and I'd like to avoid the 
security risk.  Sean
