Just install and modify it and sendmail.mc, as directed in the commentary, and install a new sendmail.cf, also as directed. Then sendmail will use your ISP as a smarthost, and will masquerade, or in other words, rewrite, all user's outgoing mail addresses with your ISP's domain name (From: username@ISP_name.net). You may find it easiest to use identical usernames on your ISP's mailhost and your local host (but fetchmail can rewrite/redirect the names for you -- see below). > On Mon, Nov 05, 2001 at 05:06:50PM -0600, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > My email client is pine for now but that may change.

By far the best pop mail utility available anywhere is "fetchmail", the very well known open source bazaar project by Eric Raymond (you'll want to read one or more of his history making essays about this), which should be on your system, or the install disk. It will do just about anything you want, using any mail protocol your ISP provides: I wish my ISP offered the secure imap protocol, for instance. Pop3 doesn't even encrypt your password -- it goes over the internet in clear text, so make sure you don't use the same password for anything else important, if you're stuck with pop3. Anyway, fetchmail delivers through sendmail (and on RedHat and many other linux systems, sendmail delivers through procmail, where you can automatically filter, scan, and sort it), and you read the result normally using any of several textmode clients, such as pine, elm, or mutt, or even in emacs (emacspeak).
