While Eudora uses SMTP to talk to sendmail for sending mail, it uses the POP protocal from retrieving mail from a mailbox on a Unix system. This requires a POP server on said unix system. The most common POP server is popper, but its buggy, with several version floating around with various bugs fixed. I highly recommend the POP server that comes with Mark Crispin's excellent IMAP package available from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/* (you probably want the 3.? beta version, which is actually release quality, not the 4.0 alpha version). Let me know if you have problems, mark
