Re: Pine and sendmail (further news)

Well, I've got a bit further with this.  The i4L site has a script on 
one of the pages which shows what to do with fetchmail and sendmail.  
The ISDN ip-up script has a couple of bits commented out that I just 
needed to change.  This was.....

/usr/sbin/sendmail -q  &
/usr/local/bin/kfrfetchmial -a >> /var/log/fetchmail  ">&1  &
/bin/su  news  "fetch"  >>  /var/log/fetch.log   &

So, I've changed that so it should work.  The other bit that I 
couldn't find was fetchmail configuration.  At page 598 of Running 
Linux from O'Reilly it says.  "Put the following line into your 
configuration file"   ...........

poll  mail.isp.com  protocol  pop3  username  joeuser  password 
secret.

I've put that into   .fetchmailrc   with the required values.  Still 
won't download mail.  That's in my home directory.  So, I think I 
have to change something ?

	At least I've made it from complete ignorance to some idea of what 
to do :-)  Even Pine 4.21 can read my mail inbox but I still haven't 
tried to send with Pine due to other mail configuration problems 
which I think are to do with sendmail.

Thanks
