[imp] SMTP vs. Sendmail

[Ben Lovett]

Oliver,

This machine already has an smtp server on it (Postfix).. I would not
like to have to install a secondary smtp server if at all possible..

Although, currently Horde and IMP have become low on my priority list
since Apache keeps crashing on me whenever trying to access imp ;(
Looking into it, but I'm thinking its time for a reinstall of the OS
:(((
