Mostly, folks here use fetchmail to retrieve email. Some of us also receive mail directly, but this involves more than just setting up sendmail (or another agent like exim or postfix). For example, you might need a domain name so that the Internet knows how to find your computer. Lastly, there are advantages to using an mta (like sendmail, exim, or postfix)) over the smtp definition in a mail user agent like Pine (or Mutt). But, you'll have to be far more precise about what you're trying to do, and exactly what happens if we can help you very much. Just saying something like "it doesn't work" is going to get you nowhere. randy turner writes: > > > well i have to run get-mail first, > then pine will send the message like it should > does this give any one any ideas? > i have tried setting up sendmail > but it does not do right. > randy > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina at freestandards.org http://a11y.org If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
