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.
