I would have stuck with postfix if I were you, its much more secure then sendmail, its faster, smaller and easier as well.
if you start postfix or sendmail on boot (run: ntsysv from a prompt) and you recieve mail, it will go into the user account for whole the mail was addressed. if postfix or sendmail is set to receive mail for mydomain.com then mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be delieverd to the local delivery agent, (don't worry about that, postfix will take care of setting up local delivery for you) and it will be delivered to the user1 on that system.. which pine or kmail or any others can collect for you via pop3 or imap.. if you have imap installed, then pop3 is also installed since they come in the same package, it depends which one you turn on.. (go into /etc/xinetd and look for the pop3 file, open it and remove disable=yes then restart xinetd or your computer) I suggest you start by going to linuxdoc.org and having a read of the mail howtoo's just to give you a better understanding of it all.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of AOL Systems Sent: Sunday, 4 November 2001 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] AOL newbie sendmail problem Importance: High I've installed sendmail in my linux box .then i want to send e-mail.What is the command to receive and get mails in sendnmail program.how will i know if got mail and how will i read it.and how will i know if it is PAP or IMAP that i installed.
