Just set outgoing mail server and incoming mail server to 'localhost'. Your onboard sendmail daemon will then handle the mail.
Well, you see, Dwight, the problem is that I'm using Netscape Mail 'cause I never could get sendmail to work for me to send outgoing mail (from Mutt) to my SMTP server over a PPP connection.
If you are currently logged on, hang up. Now: 1) Is sendmail running as a daemon? Check this by issuing: # ps ax | grep sendmail 157 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 1802 pb S 0:00 grep sendmail 2) Change outgoing mailserver to 'localhost' in Netscape as I suggested and send a test mail to hlarons@ComCAT.COM. 3) Look in the mail queue to see the message waiting there by issuing the command: # ls /var/mqueue dfMAA01755 qfMAA01755 4) Dial up your ISP and get Internet PPP going. 4) Send the mail with sendmail by issuing: # sendmail -v -q What do you see?
