-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If I recall correctly, the internal "mail" program goes to /var/mail/<userid> file to see if there are mail messages for you. as would "elm", I believe. Programs like Pine handle IMAP/POP3 mailbox stuff, as does the mailer in Netscape. Setting up sendmail on your local system to go get e-mail from your ISP is certainly feasable, but not as simple as using PINE or Netscape under X to get e-mail for you :) | | | Hi, | I have installed FreeBSD 3.1 on my system and have PPP | working in | interactive mode (not automatic mode) but if I leave it idle | for just a | small amount of time (a minute or 2 without any network | activity) I find it | silently disconnects. I thought it was related to the timeout | value in the | /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file but I removed that and it still | occurs. Any ideas? | Also, how do I configure FBSD's "mail" program? It | doesn't know what the | proper server/account info is so it doesn't work. Everytime I | boot though | it says "You have mail." and it keeps showing some message | the system sent | me over and over again. | | Thanks a lot in advance! | | Bart Trzynadlowski -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.0.2i iQA/AwUBN0iLZ1R8Yh25VFLEEQIeSgCgpt7V1VhalnSPlCJ60W+diJLiE8AAoOqL RGmyFaZ9gp1O5QOYW7ISZwin =sHO1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
