Just so that you know, there are many things that I don't know. :-) So, when you ask a question, I think it would be more productive if you forward it to the mailing list (debian-{simplified-,}chinese and/or debian-user) so that more people can help, especially when I don't know the answer myself. :-)

There's probably a section there already. :-) Here is mine: ###################################################################### # REWRITE CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### ^(foka)@lovelife.olvc.ab.ca [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr Because my machine is called "lovelife.olvc.ab.ca", not known to the outside world. (Hey, what can I say, I love the name! :-) Don't bother trying to access lovelife.olvc.ab.ca, there is no such domain name. There is www.olvc.ab.ca though, but that's a totally different computer from a webhosting service hosting the OLVC Home Page. :-) Anyhow... You probably want a rule like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr The "Ffr" means it will rewrite the From, from, and reply-to headers (???). I can't remember. Read the exim manual in /usr/doc/exim. :-) Let me know if it works for you or not. Also, if anyone knows a better solution, please share with us. I don't fully understand exim myself. You may or may not need to add an alias entry in /etc/aliases. Something like "benluo: ben". Or maybe not. I don't know. Only do this if you can't get your own e-mail. (??) > The second one, I can not use fetchmail. If i type > fetchmail > it answer > fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. I thought you have already got fetchmail set up already. :-P You can either set up /etc/fetchmailrc (if you want to run it as root), or ~ben/.fetchmailrc (probably easier and better). I have something like this in my ~/.fetchmailrc: set postmaster "foka" set invisible set no bouncemail defaults monitor ppp0 fetchall poll imap.srv.ualberta.ca protocol IMAP username "foka" password "mimi" poll pop3.freewwweb.com protocol POP3 username anthonyfok is foka here password miaomiao Make sure it is -rw------- (chmod 600) to ensure no one can read your password. In your case, you probably need something like: poll pop3.etang.com protocol POP3 username benluo is ben here password wangwang Hope this helps.
