There seems to be a lot of confusion here. Servers provide stuff, clients
get stuff...well, most of the time :-)

Not really, though it's currently handling my mail in/out of Pine.

Is is possible that your email account name is different from your user
name? Were there any mailboxes there after you've received mail? Must be
going somewhere :-)
> What did I scock up that time?
I'm not sure. I was using sendmail and fetchmail but for other reasons
needed to do a new install. When I did postfix got installed and I
noticed that it was working fine so I just left it. Wish I could tell you
more but I tend to know more about things I can't make work quite so
easily :-)
You might want to read man postfix and man master. Browsing through
/etc/postfix/master.cf is also informative.
