Hi Ed since you had replyd saying Stuart recomendation (my post was made before I had seen Stuarts) of just localhost worked I assumed you would ignore my comment.-----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Beever Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 12:32 PM To: redhat list Subject: RE: pop won't authenticate my password

So apart from the server name and password your other account should be identical to the one you set up to reach me. I guess your server name would be localhost.localdomain, Roger

Thanks, Roger. I finally got a chance to test your suggestion, but changing the host from "localhost" as Stuart had suggested to "localhost.localdomain" still doesn't seem to make a difference; I send mail to the account but it gives me no indication anything has been received.

See the other posts regarding sendmail listening to the outside world, your domain name, IP address etc.
To recap I beleive you can now post mail from the localhost machine and pop that mail back into the mail reader.
But you can not send mail to the machine from else where. To be more accurate you can send it but it never arrives.
Regards Roger
