I finally got fetchmail to retrieve mail from my POP3 host and redirecting it to port 25 on localhost. Now I don't know where it goes from there. It doesn't seem to be in the user's directory. A little background: You might want to check the /var/log/maillog file on the machine where sendmail is running; that should tell you the disposition of each mail message. > VERSIONID(`lunchbox.ibm.net.mc version 1.0') > OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl > FEATURE(nouucp)dnl > MAILER(local)dnl > MAILER(smtp)dnl > Cwlocalhost > Cwlunchbox.ibm.net > MASQUERADE_AS(`ibm.net')dnl > FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl > FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl > FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl > FEATURE(nodns)dnl > define(SMART_HOST, `smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net') > Dmlunchbox.ibm.net > define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`lunchbox.ibm.net')dnl > define(`confDELIVERY_MODE',`deferred')dnl >this mc file is how it is reccomended on the FreeBSD FAQ concerning mail and dialup account's. I'd recommend putting the MAILER specifications last. It's not clear (to me) why such things as "Cw" & "Dm" lines are being put in the .mc file; I'd expect the domain ("Dm") to have been defined in your /etc/resolv.conf, and the "Cw" entries to have been placed in /etc/sendmail.cw. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
