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.
