Ok, what am I doing wrong. My boss thinks that maybe procmail isn't working. I don't
know anything about setting up mail in Linux - hope someone who does can help out here.
On this box is a shell account with the username admin. so I should be able to send
mail to admin@[this box's hostname] right?
Here's a sample of a test mail I send:

csc001.claborn.net is our NT pop3 server. I know it works, we use it every day.
apparently, however, the Linux box will not accept mail from it. (servicemail123.com
is the new domain we bought for the Linux box. The MX record points to
mail.servicemail123.com , and mail.servicemail123.com is what I put in
/etc/sendmail.cw - does that sound right?
What thing is responsible for receiving incoming mail and putting it in local user's
mailboxes - sendmail or procmail or what?
