-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I am not sure, that I see your problem. You want to acces email on a forigin mailserver. Why don't you configure your client do do that? Most (all - in fact) mail clients I know of have the ability to get mail from either one or both of the protocols pop3 and imap: you simply specify the IP (or host name) on your forigin mailserver in the "pop3-host"-field (or whatever it is called in your favourite mail program). The same thing you can do when sending mail. Here you want to fill out the "SMTP-server" field. That is standard behaviour of allmost all mail programs (Except a few, who has not discovered that /var/spool/mail is not a good thing). A few programs (I think including Mail) requires sendmail to be running on localhost. But I have for managed to avoid that when using my laptop (thus different IP's depending on where I am). A neat directory over mail clients are btw. avaliable at www.imap.org. My own favourites include pine, xfmail and ml. Summarizing: Setting up a huge framework with sendmail, fetchmail and local spool would be (imho) overkill. cheers - --thomas On 23-Jan-98 Elmo Recio wrote: > I am seeming to have troble with the mailing daemon on my > LINUX box.
