It would appear so. I guess you could also have removed the Re:

Disadvantages of using your email client to send might include:
. sending is relatively instant as the client is dispatching
  it to the same machine, not the remote smarthost,
. exim will retry sending if your smarthost is busy/unavailable,
. it keeps logs,
. it send emails on behalf of other processes, like cron jobs,
  where your client is not involved.

I don't collect emails in Flo's sense, as I use IMAP rather than POP.
So my INBOX is merely mutt's cache of individual emails, rather than a
live mailfile. The actual server is somewhere around Manchester/Stockport.

I don't use TB, which is where I assume you're getting those from.

Cheers,
