I am using the latest version of sendmail server. I am having some issues configuring sendmail to send/recieve pop3 email for my domain. Bottom line is, im just having trouble drawing the steps to setting up a mail server from the documentation i've found online. I went into /etc/xinetd.d where I found the following: IMAP IMAPS iPOP2 iPOP3 POP3S -I enabled iPOP3, made sure everything else was disabled. port 25/tcp SMTP = Open port 110/tcp POP3 = Open How do I tell it what domain to serve POP3 email for? I went into sendmail.cf, but wasnt quite sure where to place it. And I know im supposed to do something with the contents of the /etc/mail folder. However, no documentation I have touches on anything in that folder but the access file. I assume that every email account, must have a user account on the server, correct? So if I have a user account by the name of Jason, I can just send an email to "jason@domain.com" ? When I tried to access this account from Mozilla mail, I get connection refused. I've also sent email to this account from my office email account, and while I didnt get any indication that the email does not exist, I did not find any hint of it in /var/spool/mail/jason My appologies if Im jumping around and leaving out anything. Please let me know if you need any more info.

Ok to save time just go to netikus.net and under guides look for email server .... It is perfect and you will learn A LOT I did.... There are a few bugs in it but without to much assle you will probably get over them Plus remember that you have to edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc at least dnl this line DAEMON_OPTIONS(smtp ********* I don't know the exact name but just add a dnl before it and then you will be able to send mail ( that line ties the sendmail smtp to the localhost) For everithing else check out the guide on netikus.net

OH... damn I almost forgot... after you edit sendmail.mc tye # m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc /etc/sendmail.cf And that will generate a sendmail.cf with the proper configuration DO NOT EDIT SENDMAIL.CF DIRECTLY
