Etharp -  I have other computers that receive mail just fine.  I am getting
your mail (otherwise there wouldn't be much point to being on a mailing
list. . . ).  However, using postfix and pine I cannot seem to receive on
Mandrake 8.0.

Anyone have constructive suggestions?

postfix only sends mail. You need to use fetchmail to receive mail.

From a command line try fetchmail. your.isppopserver.com

You should get asked your login and password, then receive your mail. If 
that's the case, you can then set up fetchmail to get your mail 
automatically. But try that first.
