I have done quite a bit of reading but it is all just beating around the bush.. or maybe I am missing something. I have one ISP POP3 account (maildrop) with 5 aliases. I need to collect all mail onto the local fbsd server mail server and sort it according to the "To:" field so LAN users can collect mail from that server. I also want users to be able to send mail to the LAN mail server and then the server has to relay that mail to the ISP's SMTP. all this has to be done over a Dial-up link. the dial-up is up and running OK. as far as I understand I need fetchmail, sendmail, procmail, and some mail server. am I right? could someone point me to the right documentation or examples on the internet OR if possible to explain to me what comes first and how all the above components (fetchmail, sendmail, etc) come together and possibly suggest what combination of software packages I should use. thanx a lot *************************************** STUPID JOKE: David and John are walking along the beach and John says - David, look, a dead seagull John looks up and says - Where? ***************************************
