Hello,

For the last two weeks, I've been trying to get to the bottom of how
sendmail works to send mail. Before I go any further, this is how some of my
FreeBSD box is setup:

hostname: -> zoopa.un1x.ua

This is just some hn/domain I made up and named my box. I am on a cable
connectiong with DHCP. I am trying to configure "mail" to receive my
incoming mail from a pop server off of my ISPs server. I learned that
sendmail is pretty much a mail server, so I need it to send mail from my
console to the Internet.

What I need to know is, how and where do I make adjustments as far as
getting mail to receive mail from, lets say: pop-server.nikolex.com so this
way I can setup mutt to get it and use mutt instead of mail.

Secondly, what do I need to do to send mail via sendmail. I can send mail on
any user on the box, i.e., root and others. But what do I do?

I've read the handbook, sendmail.org and IRC. Nothing resolved. Please,
someone try to help me.

Thank you.
