Yeah - I don't use squirrelmail to send mail.
It probably could be patched fairly easily to use my service providers
smtp - but I generally just use my providers webmail to send when I'm
not using a proper client.

Don't need your own dns server - mine sits on a local lan, not a real
IP.

Now - I do happen to run a caching nameserver (on the same box) that
resolves hostnames on my local lan, but you can also just put entries
into the /etc/hosts files instead. That's what I use to do.
