Hi, I was subscribed to the Gentoo-user mailing list where I got most of my Gentoo issues resolved. However, I got quite tired of coming to my computer after a few hours only to have fifty or a hundred messages in my mailbox, many of which were talking about things I had no interest in. Yeah I know, the delete key is your friend and all that, but it was still a pain to go through. So I'll ask a few questions here. 1. I have switched from Exim to Postfix. However, I didn't appear to get the sample files Postfix mentions in its main.cf file. How do you specify that Postfix is to use your ISP's smtp server as a smarthost? 2. Pop3. I installed Qpopper, but aparently a necessary program, /usr/sbin/popauth, is missing from the 4.0.5 package. Has anybody gotten pop3 working on Gentoo and if so how? I've tried a few other pop3 daemons but they all reject perfectly good username/password combinations. 3. Epic4. The Irc client. On my old Debian system I could run it in dumb mode and have a pretty good Irc experience. However, the version which Gentoo installed when I emerged it gives me the time and other numbers before every line! This is, as you can probably figure out, quite annoying to say the least, when you have to listen to it! Has anybody had this experience and how do you fix it? Thanks for any help. Jayson.
