You do not need sendmail for this - pine probably does require an MTA installed on the system you're using, but all you need is ssmtp, which a believe is available for slink. ssmtp is a simple MTA (send only) which just passes mail from your machine to a relay on the internet. It is much better to use this over something like exim or sendmail if all you need is a send only MTA to satisfy a program like pine or mutt or elm.
Alternate: you could log in to the mail server and read your mail there. > -----Original Message----- > From: madhombre [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 10:54 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: new to the list - sendmailcf > > please let me know if I do anything wrong, I am new to this list and > quite new to list sin gerneral. > > Hello, nice to meet you all. > > I am also quite new to unix, so please be patient! > > my set up > > I have 3 unix boxes, one gateway/mail server, one web server and one > client > > The gateway uses netbsd and has qmail running quite nicely on it. > > The client is the one running Debian, it is an old laptop with not > much ram so I had to use Slink (2.1) > > I want to collect email from my mail server and also my isp. > > I have fetchmail, sendmail and pine running and it is almost working, > but not quite. > > I came across a page ont he web which expalins how to do what I want > to do, BUT it says I need sendmail and sendmailcf > > I have sendmail but not the sendmailcf, I looked on redhat and they > have it. > > Can I get it, I can't even find the source anywhere. > > Where can I get it from, pacjage or source, either one. > > OR someone can try to fix what I have now. > > It works but all the mail goes into one root file, I want to break it > up into 1 file per message. > > Pine can't handle it at the moment, I am opretty sure because it is > all one file. > > PLEASE HELP!!! > > Thanks. > > > _________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
