I'll post this problem one last time: I must type runq at the console after 
running fetchmail in order for my e-mail reader to see my new mail. This never 
happened before, that is until I installed Netscape 4.61 the other day; before, 
I would run fetchmail and smail ran the queue automatically.

This is more an inconvenience than anything else---my system isn't broken. But 
what can I do to remedy this?

Some info: When installing Netscape, the configuration script said that smail 
may have to be restarted, and so it was. Also, when reconfiguring smail last 
night (smailconfig), a message that "There is no crontab" came up. My smail 
daemon is run via a inet.d.

Should I bag smail and use another MTA?

Thanks all,
Dave
