| Post subject: | Initial Sendmail configuration |
Hello. I'm new to Linode and I'm trying to set up a mail server using Sendmail. All I need this to do is accept messages to all addresses @flashingeyes.com, and let me access that mailbox through POP3. All I've done so far is to comment out this line in the sendmail.mc file: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl I ran make -C /etc/mail and restarted Sendmail but my POP3 client still can't connect to the server. What else do I need to do? By the way, I've just tried installing courier and postfix and I can't get either of them to compile, which is why I'm hoping I can get Sendmail to work. Thanks! Keegan |

Sendmail isn't a POP3 server, its an MTA, so you wont be able to connect to your machine unlerss you install a POP3 server. |

Did you get the sendmail config working? It's pretty easy to get all mail dumping into one account. If you nedd help, drop me a line and I'll send the details. I have been using this config for a while now. --James |

Hey, It took me awhile to find a decent tutorial. But here is one, and it made it much clearer what was needed to set up mail service. http://rimuhosting.com/support/settingupemail.jsp |
