I'm configuring getmail on the server to check our various external mailboxes and consolidate them locally into mail accounts on the server. I run sendmail as a local SMTP server and to prevent local emails from going out to the net for delivery, and was anticipating that getmail would post mail to the sendmail mailboxes.
However, the getmail documentation (such as it is) says it does not need to use an MTA, but suggests that if you want to, use qmail. It supports three types of mailboxes: mbox files, qmail Maildirs or piped to a command (but not as root). The questions are: 1. If I don't use an MTA, how would I configure the WinNT email clients (Pegasus 4)? 2. Can I use sendmail as the MTA? If so, how do I configure the getmail output? 3. What's an mbox? 4. The piped to command seems a bit risky, according to the documentation: is it a good option to send the mail to sendmail? How would this work - would sendmail know which mailbox it should go to? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
