I will add to this. On my ISP's mail server, I cannot send mail out from my box using sendmail. Even at work we have to modify the /etc/mail/sendmail.xx files to get it to work. We had to get sendmail to masquerade the addresses for the mail server to accept our mail.

At home I have resorted to using pine to look at my local mail. I like pine though. Must be my age showing. :) I never could get Mozilla to read my local mail but again, I haven't tried much.


You can always enable Dovecot (ships with FC) to get IMAP and or POP3
access to those local accounts. Dovecot is easy to configure, and POP3
and IMAP are widely supported by mail clients.



I will look into this. I notice that it isn't installed on my work machine.


At work it is no problem to get it sorted. At home it is another issue. There are times that I would like sendmail to send out to the net but not necessary.

Thanks.
