Okay, I kinda figured from the way the msgs were going that it was 9.0 only.
In answer to your question, I'm a total newbie when it comes to Linux mail
systems. Before I'd always just setup Kmail to use pop3 with my ISP. I just
wanted to learn more (and boy have I ever!) and try to set up mail for my
local LAN.
SO.... Nope - I hadn't touched any files that have anything to do with
fetchmail, procmail, or mutt. Can you tell me what config files for each that
I need to check/change? Or better yet, I don't want to exhaust you, if you
can point me to a good "howto" or FAQ (like the one I found for setting up
NFS - it was clean, straightforward, and wonderful - I had NFS working in
about an hour!).
Thanks for all your help, Ray!
