I am new to UNIX and have chosen to use FreeBSD as a learning platform. I have installed FreeBSD release 4.4 on a pentium 133MHz with 16Mb ram. When logged onto the BSD box ,using telnet, I can use sendmail to send a message to a user that I have created and receive it over the network where I am working in windows xp. I have already set up POP3 which I have downloaded from the internet. But I cannot send e-mail from my windows xp computer to say a different user on the BSD box. It also my be possible that sendmail is not set up correctly. It is starting up without popping up some kind of error, like named or dhcpd will do. My question to you guru's... I know that I can always use qmail but if I want to use sendmail, can the pop3 daemon receive e-mail as well as send? If so and if it is my sendmail that is giving me problems, what is the key elements to look for when configuring sendmail?
