Thanks to all who have responded.

As I said, I managed to get Pine working but I can't get zmailer to send
the mails (ie: to leave my computer).

I still have my sent mails in $POSTOFFICE. 

As I deduced from $LOGDIR/* the smtp client connects to the host where the
mails should be sent and passes the initial greeting. 

I took a look to the logs to see what happens when I _receive_ mails:

---(cut from $LOGDIR/smtpserver)
[...]
19406w  250-DSN
19406w  250-X-RCPTLIMIT 10000

I receive mails ok.

The sending process seems to lock up after the initial greeting.

Isn't my smtp client sending MAIL From: <...> or what?
I'm too lame to figure out by myself.
