I am working on FreeBSD 2.2.7, purchased from Walnut Creek. I am very new to FreeBSD and would like to setup my personal email. I have setup my ppp connection properly (thank you very much!) (BTW, the ppp is the user program, not the kernel PPP) and plan on using Pine 4.02a (which I have installed using the ports collection). I have used Pine with my shell account on my ISP and like it very much. This computer is a personal computer, which is *not* connected to a LAN. >From the reading I have done on the FreeBSD site, I am pretty sure I have to use sendmail and fetchmail (my internet connection is a dynamic PPP dialup). Are there any tutorials available on the web concerning how to setup sendmail and fetchmail (if these are indeed the programs I need to use) for dialup, dynamic PPP connections? Most of the information regarding sendmail setup I have seen is for local networks. I know I can use Pine while connected to the Internet, but I want to be able to download all my email at once, disconnect, read it/reply to it offline, and then just connect to the 'net again to send the replies. Thanks in advance, Mark Barbisan. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
