IMAP is supposed to be more friendly for dial-up connections, since only the headers of the mail messages ever traverse "the wire". However, IMAP does not provide for good off-line reading, since to get the body of a message you have to be connected to the server as far as I know. I haven't used any of these, but I seem to recall that a lot of people are using qpopper around here. > As I understand, fetchmail only fetches mail.

This is called "masquerading" in sendmail, "address rewriting" in postfix, and gaud knows what else in other MTA's. > Can sendmail running on the client/server sides provide it?

You have to use into the macro file that you use to generate your sendmail.cf the following lines: MASQUERADE_AS(`your.domain.name')dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(local.client.domain.name)dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl dnl dnl Which users we'll avoid masquerading. dnl EXPOSED_USERS(root)dnl Then rebuild your sendmail.cf and restart sendmail. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
