Re: Email problem

I tried what you said and still got the same errors. I finally gave up and did the following:

rpm -e spamassassin
rpm -e mutt
rpm -e procmail
rpm -e sendmail

And then made sure all the sendmail configs were deleted in /etc/mail

Then ran apt-get install sendmail (with the fedoranews.org howto configs)

Installed, configured, and runs beautiful now.

Just the answer on what fixed me if anyone else has this problem and searches the archives.

With this setting Sendmail is bound to only listen on localhost. With
this setting you can not receive mail from outside the mail host. Either
set a "dnl" in front of that line or add at least one additional
DAEMON_OPTIONS() line to let Sendmail listen on an outbound IP. (This is
documented in the sendmail.mc file tiself.)

Wrong permissions on /var/spool/mail! So the POP3 daemon is complaining.

chmod 775 /var/spool/mail
chown root.mail /var/spool/mail

User mailbox files have chmod 660 and chown $USER.mail
