Hi Igor: The line in my inetd.conf is as follows: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper qpopper -s ...as the manual suggested. But aside from that, I have a few other related questions. One is, if I am in X and using a local account, not a root account, and using mutt, its using my mailbox for that user, but if I switch to root and then run mutt, it still uses the same mailbox. Where can I specify to change this so that whenever I am the other user it switches the mailboxes for me? And another question, regarding DNS and DHCP. I am on cable and get DHCP-assigned IPs, I run DNS2Go synamic hostname/domain resolver, and someone has told me that this might be a problem when running sendmail or getting qpopper working. Where do I specify in the DNS config to set my options that say that I am the server. I get many unresolved host messages when trying to send mail. Thanks.
