No, that is 'mail', an MUA which is separate from 'sendmail' (an MTA). I do not recommend using 'mail' as your MUA. It works, but there are easier MUAs available. I recommend pine, mutt, or elm if you're using a console. Pine is the easiest to learn, elm is the most lightweight, and mutt is the most flexible and powerful. If you prefer a GUI, I recommend Mozilla, KMail, or Evolution. >But for example, I send an email to my yahoo account, >and then I can respond back to it, why is that? You Linux box will have to have a DNS entry that can be found by Yahoo's mail servers. Does your machine have a DNS record at your ISP or some other publicly available nameserver? Tony -- Anthony E.
