[newbie] mail problems

2000-03-22 Thread Don Jenkins
the messages coming down from the ISP server, but they disappear into the ether, I guess. Does anyone have any insight? Is there something specific to Mandrake that would bear on this? Does Mandrake 7.0 have default mail programs it uses? Thanks! Don J. Do good stuff

I don't have an answer for #2 but for #1, if Linux is like HP-UX UNIX, look in /etc/inittab; look for entries that are set to respawn. I don't know what your background is in UNIX, mine is good but not great. The inittab entry for getty: respawn is why a process you kill automatically restarts.
