Is there some way of sending such messages to a local MUA without them leaving 
the box?  If I understand this correctly in all options discussed here the 
messages will leave the box via SMTP/UUCP, reach the ISP servers, then the 
relevant (e.g. mail.yahoo.com) mailserver and finally back to the local box 
as incoming mail on the user MUA.
