Well, my conclusion is that you've done something to the basic smail satellite option - specifically, your /etc/smail/directors file has something in it besides the smartuser director. What you appended of your configuration isn't enough to tell. (It's the /etc/smail/directors file that controls local mail delivery) By default, when using the satellite option, /etc/smail/directors is set up so that smail will not deliver any local mail. (and this precludes using fetchmail to store mail locally) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
