Check /etc/rc.conf to check if it runs sendmail. POP3 is done by a program called QPopper. It is avalibale for Qualcomm at http://www.eudora.com/ under the Freeware section. It includes instructions on how to set it up, and you should already have a line in /etc/inetd.conf for a pop3 server. Just uncomment it once you've insatlled QPopper. > What values do I stick into my mail client on the win95 box (I use > Pegasus mail for windows)? > Dunno. I've used M$ a little, but I havn't heard of Pegasus.
