I've been trying to set up sendmail on my Solaris machine. I can send mail but for some reason I can only recieve with user root. Does anyone know how I could allow other user's to recieve mail?

By default sendmail should work fine for sending mail internally on one system. Any user should be able to issue the mail command (or use pine if it's installed) and check their mailbox.
What errors are you getting?
If you're talking about hooking up to the internet and receiving mail to a domain assigned to the box then that's an entirely different issue. I'm not really sure on that as sendmail seems to have a horrible syntax in it's conf files.

I can send mail to other user's internally, but on the internet is different. I can recieve as all users, but the computer doesn't say that they exist. for example, when I'm in sendmail and I use the command 'expn User' it will say that the user doesn't exist. it will however, say that root exists.
