Hi Chuck,
I worked on it a little yesterday and got some good results.
I installed the IMAP RPM which came with the distribution, and was able to
access using POP3, so that seems to work. I'll upgrade to the newer version
you mentioned another time.
The error message I got before trying to send mail was something like
"response from server: we do not route email" ... I found a little remark
about /etc/hosts having to first list 'host.net.work' before the 'host' for
the local IP address (i.e. '192.168.1.1 host.net.work host). This also
caused Pine to give a message about not being able to determine the network
name or something. Having modified this, Pine stopped complaining, and I was
able to send from the Win98 to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
However, I still am unable to send a message from the Win98 client to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', only to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Sendmail SMTP still returns
the message about not relaying messages. I presume I will need to modify
some sendmail script(s). The mail server also runs named, and has itself
mentioned as primary Mail eXchanger (MX field) for 'net.work'. Of course I
will want to be able to store incoming mail from the network to be send at a
later time when connected to the internet (I currently do not have the
domain registered, but intend to do so in the near future.) Of course I want
local email to be send to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' too instead of just
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I presume it wouldnt be right to put '192.168.1.1
net.work host.net.work host' into /etc/hosts, because I think that
causes the server to called 'net' on domain '.work' which isnt quite right I
think.
I guess I can find documentation on this, but if you could give me some
pointers, I would greatly appreciate it.
