They are very likely to be rejected.  You must use some smarthost services offered by your connection ISP or independent mail ISPs.  For the simplicity, I will assume that the smarthost is located at "<code>smtp.hostname.dom</code>", requires SMTP AUTH, and uses the message submission port 587 in the following text. </para>

        <para>Although the popcon vote count of exim4 looks several times popular than that of postfix, this does not mean postfix is not popular with Debian developers.  The Debian server system uses both exim4 and postfix.  The <ulink url="http://wiki.debian.org/DefaultMTA">mail header analysis</ulink> of mailing list postings from prominent Debian developers also indicate both of these MTAs are as popular. </para>
        <para>The <code>exim4-*</code> are known to have very small memory consumption and very flexible for its configuration.  The <code>postfix</code> is known to be compact, fast, simple, and secure.  Both come with ample documentation and are as good in quality and license.   </para>

        <title>The mail configuration strategy for workstation</title>
        <para>The most simple mail configuration is that the mail is sent to the ISP's smarthost and received from ISP's POP3 server by the MUA itself. This type of configuration is popular with full featured GUI based mail user agent (MUA) such as <code>icedove</code>, <code>evolution</code>, etc.. If you need to filter mail by their types, you use MUA's filtering function. For this case, the local mail transport agent (MTA) need to do local delivery only. </para>
        <para>The alternative mail configuration is that the mail is sent via local MTA to the ISP's smarthost and received from ISP's POP3 by <code>fetchmail</code>(1) to the local mailbox.  If you need to filter mail by their types, you use <code>procmail</code>(1) to filter mail into separate mailboxes.  This type of configuration is popular with simple console based MUA such as <code>mutt</code>, <code>gnus</code>, etc., although this is possible with any MUAs. For this case, the local MTA need to do both smarthost delivery and local delivery. </para>

      <title>The print server and utility</title>
      <para>In the old Unix-like system, the BSD <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_Printer_Daemon_protocol">Line printer daemon</ulink> was the standard.  Since the standard print out format of the free software is <ulink url="/PostScript">PostScript</ulink> on the Unix like system, some filter system was used along with <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostscript">Ghostscript</ulink> to enable printing to the non-<ulink url="/PostScript">PostScript</ulink> printer. </para>
      <para>Recently, <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Unix_Printing_System">Common UNIX Printing System</ulink> (CUPS) is the new de facto standard.  The CUPS uses <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Printing_Protocol">Internet Printing Protocol</ulink> (IPP). The IPP is now supported by other OSs such as Windows XP and Mac OS X and has became new cross-platform de facto standard for remote printing with bi-directional communication capability. </para>
      <para>The standard printable data format for the application on the Debian system is the <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript">PostScript (PS)</ulink> which is a page description language.  The data in PS format is fed into the Ghostscript <ulink url="/PostScript">PostScript</ulink> interpreter to produce the printable data specific to the printer.  See: @{@theghostscript@}@ . </para>
      <para>Thanks to the file format dependent auto-conversion feature of the CUPS system, simply feeding any data to the <code>lpr</code> command should generate the expected print output. (In CUPS, <code>lpr</code> can be enabled by installing the <code>cups-bsd</code> package.) </para>
      <para>The Debian system has few notable packages for the print servers and utilities: </para>
