(your explaination of your problem is rather vague... telnet service, but where? etc). sendmail is a mail transport agent that acts to accept email and then deliver it to where it is supposed to go. The smtp port is 25. This is not what you want, you are referring to collecting email from your mail server. Use pop for that, the pop server listens on port 110. Make sure that you have the imap rpm installed (it contains the pop server), then "chkconfig ipop3 on" to enable it. Now you will be able to collect your email. If you want to sending email out from winblows box via your linux box, then that will require sendmail to be configured and running. You'll need to get it to listen to the appropriate interfaces other than 127.0.0.1, then add entries to /etc/mail/access to allow relay. If you don't understand what any of this means, then don't do it until you do. Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
