I don't know why I was thinking sendmail. OOps. I did mean the receiving part of
an e-mail transaction.

with netscape? how is that done? Is this a netscape option or something that
happens with the tcp socket? (I assume this isn't the ssl option for sending
email.) To read local mail through netscape, I would set up a pop server and put
localhost as the mail server? Does netscape support apop? But I think I will
switch to pine soon anyways so I can read my e-mail anywhere. OTOH, I am now
getting a little paranoid about telnetting into my computer. Do any UT computer
labs actually have ssh support?
Thanks. Paul.
