No, I didn't use courier-mta, or ANY mta at all.  I don't have one configured, 
I never have, and don't want to, which is why I chose cone as my text-mode 
mua.  I only installed (but never ran) courier-mta so that I could get the 
maildirmake command which wasn't previously on my system.  I have cone 
configured to handle the interaction with my pop mail provider directly.
