   Nope. You are probably going to need an SMTP server.   
   In Slackware 15.0, you have your choice of the "Postfix" SMTP server   
   or the Sendmail.org "Sendmail" SMTP server.   
      
   Note that, while "Sendmail" /was/ the standard mailserver for Slackware   
   releases, Pat V. moved it to the "extra" directory, and changed the   
   default to the "Postfix" server. "Postfix" seems to use an easier, less   
   arcane configuration system than "Sendmail" does.
