Hi all. Let me see if I have this right. I'm using fetchmail and sendmail and they seem to work. However when i threw Smail away and ran deselect to install Sendmail, the dependency information said that I needed "deliver". I had already installed procmail and thought that procmail was the logical equivalent of deliver no?
I'm still a bit new at configuring Linux machines for mail (which is partly why I'm using Agent), so here is what I think is supposed to happen: I call fetchmail which checks my POP account and downloads the mail. Fetchmail then either (1.) places the mail in /var/spool/mail/username or (2.) passes it to a program like "deliver" or "procmail" ? So basically sendmail doesn't do anyting until I export mail ? I've read a lot of news and docs trying to understand "what happens when" but keep reading things that say I only need an MTA like sendmail and a MUA like Pine. There seems to be a step in the middle missing. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
