I have postfix installed. Here's my "kcsmart" permissions and ownership: [kcsmart@alan kcsmart]$ ls -l /var/spool/mail/kcsmart -rw------- 1 kcsmart postfix 3449 Mar 22 17:41 /var/spool/mail/kcsmart I believe with sendmail you can replace postfix ownership with mail (i.e kcsmart.mail). Also, you need to make sure you have pop3 turned on (it's called ipop3 in the xinetd scripts; I usually control it via ntsysv, others choose chkconfig). Once you know it's enabled, restart (or reload) xinetd. I believe pop3 is still part of the imap rpm unless you choose to run a different version. I just use localhost as the pop server and also as the smtp server and it all works well. > I also installes antivir and avmailgate - running ok. > I told kmail to use "localhost" as smtp on port 25. > > When I send a mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" everything works fine. The smtp stuff is separate and is part of the install no matter what setup you choose. It allows mail to be sent to root from con tasks for instance. But, pop isn't there by default unless you chose it to be by installing imap or some other version. The default install allows one to read directly from the spool file, whereas pop will pull it out of the spool file and forward it to the user on request. Again, provided everything is set up properly. -- If at first you don't succeed, get a job with Microsoft. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
