I installed sendmail, as it's an industry standard, and any skills learned could be used for pay. O'Reilly also has Sendmail (the Bat book) online, if you want to get deep into sendmail's config many config files and start tweaking things. The Masquerading HOWTO should be enough to get you up and sending with sendmail. I would set fetchmail aside and put it offline until you have the ability to reply with a properly masqueraded from address. Maybe test your system using a webmail account, sending emails to and from it to one account that fetchmail will access. You may need to learn procmail to start doing address re-writing if you're going to try POP'ing mail from more than one mailserver. It took me a month to configure sendmail the first time around, because I hadn't read the Masquerading HOWTO., which makes it a breeze if followed to the letter. You only need to add three or four things to sendmail's configs to get it to work, using the Masquerading HOWTO. HTH, Michael
