Hello Everyone, A huge "Thank you" goes out to all who responded to this e-mail post. All suggestions were fantastic, however one stood out the most and thus solved my Sendmail issue. An excerpt goes as follows. ******************************* On Tue, Jun 27, 2000 at 10:10:37AM -0500, Chris Parman wrote:
Hello Everyone,
I'll make this "Short and Sweet". Has anyone been able to use Sendmail (in SuSE 6.4) with a dialup PPP connection ? If you are one of the lucky ones that has been successful in getting Sendmail to receive & send mail, please respond back as to how you were able to do so. Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, I am using sendmail on SuSE 6.4 right now. I had problems with configuring sendmail, and even the might Yast didn't seem to get things quite right. What worked for me is a Perl script called "install-sendmail", written by Donncha O Caoimh at the Cork Linux Users Group. The URL for this great program is http://cork.linux.ie/projects/install-sendmail/ Current version appears to be 5.3.1. Don't run it as root! After installing the config files it produces, (and possibly tweaking my .fetchmailrc), I just use "fetchmail" to get mail from my ISP's pop3 server, and use "sendmail -q" to send out any outgoing messages. Works like a charm. Regards, Chris Leyon cleyon@nji.com *************************** This suggestion worked well. Now I use 'fetchmail' to receive mail and Pine to view (and reply, send, etc...) mail. Ironically, I applied the method above to my Ultra-1 (Sparc, running Solaris 8 and behind my Linux machine which acting as a gateway/proxy), surprisingly enough its works very well. Also, there is no need to issue 'sendmail -q', e-mail immediately sent :) Must be the way Sendmail is setup in Solaris 8 (Who knows as long as it works :) Anywho, thank you all for your responses and have a wonderful week.
