I'm not sure I understand what you're really doing, but it seems to me that you're doing everything from a terminal/console - instead of using the GUI mail clients - like Evolution, Kmail, Sylpheed, Balsa and the likes... Fetchmail is generally setup by running "fetchmailconf" - a GUI to assist in creating a ".fetchmailrc" in your ~/home/yourname directory. This then spools the mail you get from whoever your ISP mail comes from - then you would use Evolution or Kmail (or whatever) to read/reply/create mail - which then gets sent to either Postfix or Sendmail for processing - then it gets sent out... Playing around in a term with sendmail is very "tricky" at best... -- Thu, 23 Jan 2003 06:25:01 +1100 6:25am up 6 days, 16:08, 4 users, load average: 0.03, 0.11, 0.29 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ We are using Linux daily to UP our productivity - so UP yours!
