Hi, Pierre.
I have kmail set up to monitor and download from 3 external mail
accounts, but when it comes to setting up the internal account I'm
stumped when it comes to entering the server. I'll read your pages
to see if I understand any better when I've done <g>
The messages that I'm concerned with for the moment are from msec or
cron, with headers like
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
X-Original-To: anne
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: by anne-linux.lydgate.net (Postfix, from userid 0)
id 33863671C5; Wed, 14 May 2003 23:09:18 -0400 (EDT)
I would also like to be able to send internal mail to other users on
the lan. At the moment I have to use their address on our domain,
sending it externally, which seems silly when we could communicate
through a few walls.
I would guess that I have to actually set up a mail server on this box
to deal with it, and have others download from that, but clearly
messages are getting from msec and cron via root to me, so maybe I'm
misunderstanding.
