Emacs can not act as a receiving MTA (it is not a mail server).  But
the Emacs mail clients (at least some of them) do provide the ability
to actively query a non-local MTA (an MTA on a mail server) via the
POP or IMAP protocols.  So you don't need a *local* MTA for receiving
mail.


Hope this helps, benny
