Hello,

after months of agony, pain, misery..... I just got my User PPP working. :-)
But my email isn't working. In fact when the PPP link comes up I get a load of errors from sendmail along the lines of:

    sendmail[450]: problem creating SMTP port
    sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: cannot bind: Address already in use
    sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: server SMTP socket wedged:         exiting

Now I get hundreds of these messgaes flooding my xterms....

Also when I try to download mail from my ISP's incoming mail server (mail.force9.net) using the sendmail ETRN command "ETRN <myhost>", I get:

502 unimplemented(#5.5.1)

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Ghulam
