Hello.

I am attempting to set up my SuSe 6.4 box as an e-mail server. What I want to do is set it so that the server will poll my isp via a dialup router (another machine running Coyote which is working fine) and put incoming email in appropriate mailboxes on the server for pickup by my users later. At present, using a test account I can send mail to any internet location using PINE on the SuSe box, and running fetchmail will pickup mail for my test account, but I cannot figure out where it is placing the incoming mail.

Any ideas on a simple configuration HOWTO to do this?

If you just create your users normally, and for each line in fetchmailrc tell it "is username here", it will be easy. Install a popd server, and it should automatically work. It doesn't matter that you don't know where the mail goes, popd knows. ;-) Seriously, I think the mail will go to /var/spool/mail unless you tell it otherwise. (But I am not sure, since I *have* told it otherwise) Regards Ole
