Got a problem here I don't understand. I used Yast to configure the MTA and I also use KMail. I'm receiving email in /var/spool/mail/eric instead of to my KMail. It doesn't seem to be happening all of the time though as I've got about 2000 emails from this list.

I'm using a dial-up connection, I'm the local user and I forward root's email to eric (me). Any ideas on what's going on. Below is a header. Doesn't Status: U mean undeliverable? /var/spool/mail/eric is where sendmail places email. You should be able to configure kmail to fetch mail from both your pop server and local mail. If you had a full time connection, I would probably recommend using fetchmail to get mail from the POP server, but IMHO, using KMail to get your mail from the server is preferable when on a dialup. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
