Well, let me see if I can help again... To use Eudora to read your mail
from the local Linux machine, you have to have a pop or imap server running
on the Linux machine - sendmail does not handle local mail retreval. The
IMAP rpm should have the files you need in it. Let us know if you need
help getting them working. Eudora can be configured to get your mail from
your ISP, and to send replies out using your ISP's mail server...
To get sendmail to accept mail from Eudora running on a machine on your
local network, and going to the internet, you will have to tell sendmail
that it is ok to relay mail from this machine. To do this, you will have
to add the machine you are running Eudora on to the /etc/mail/access file.
Add:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx RELAY
(replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the real IP address, or the host name.)
Then you have to rebuild the file by running "makmap hash access < access"
The will rebuild the access.db file.
You may still run into problems sending mail, unless you have set up
sendmail to use the mail server on your ISP as a smart relay host.
The reasion for this is that a lot of systems reject mail from hosts that
they can not do a dns lookup on.
