Hi Folks, before I ask: Thanks. You did a great job documenting the bells and whistles, as well as showing the gory details. Again, thanks to all of you who ever did a single line of documentation. Now for some wishes: above said FAQ 8.19 is missing the following hints. Just put them in: After the paragraph <<Quote>> ... If you've chosen to use user-ppp, you can automatically fetch your mail when a connection to the 'net is established with the following entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: MYADDR: !bg su user -c fetchmail <<Quote ends>> Insert something like <<New>> If you are using sendmail (as shown below) to deliver mail to non-local accounts, put the command !bg su user -c sendmail -q after the above shown entry. This forces sendmail to process your mailqueue as soon as the connection to the 'net is established. <<new ends>>. Also, some pointers to sendmail information inside this FAQ would help -- I still cannot figure what the shown .mc would do.
