Based on your requirements, an MTA can be configured to handle: 1) inbound and outbound e-mail 2) inbound only 3) outbound only 4) simply act as a gateway to another mail server. > > if you want to use Outlook to grab mail from the server > you'll have to set up pop or imap. true! > > Have you tried logging in as that user and checking their > mail with pine or whatever? The OP problem was two fold. 1) sendmail was not configured to accept a connection from a client trying to send outbound e-mail. 2) sendmail was not configured to accept inbound e-mail and hand off to a LDA (local delivery agent) like procmail.
