John,
Thanks for the help.
Already made some progress. I had the sendmail filled out with my email
address. I can now send using /usr/local/sendmail
ISP problem is different: I don't get an email through my cable-ISP
(charter communication). Email comes from a different provider (email
address [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Additionally, I have an email account at
the local hospital ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that is secured and does NOT
let you check mail via the net.
I am reading through one of my books on how to setup Samba using SWAT.
The Linux Bible states:
Add a line to /etc/services: swat 901/TCP
I did that.
Add a line to /etc/inetd.conf: swat stream tcp nowait.400 root
/usr/sbin/swat
I can't find inetd.conf where is it ??????
Bart

Hey Bart,
We are happy to help out a new Linux user here!
I'll give you whatever answers and information I can
and ask others to help out as well.
See below for my input.

What you need to do is send your email through an
email server that you have an account on. Who is your
ISP for your cable modem?
A "relaying error" happens when you try to send email
(via POP3) through a server that is not on the same
network as you. In other words, I can send email from
home through my ISP, Eatel.net, because I am getting
an IP address from them. Hence, I am on the same
network as my ISP's network. When I try to send email
through the same mail server from my work computer,
which is on a differnet network, I get a "relaying
error".

In my experience, I've always been able to retrieve
email (via SMTP) from my ISP, even from different
networks. But, your ISP may not allow that. Can you
give us more specific information about this problem?

I assume your printer is connected to your Linux box.
You can install and use Samba to make your Linux box
look like an Microsoft box or even an NT network
server. Or, you could connect your printer to one of
your M$ Windows boxes as a print server and use Samba
from Linux to connect to this print server.
You are in luck, as Dustin Puryear, one of the BRLUG
members, literally "wrote the book" on this kinda
thing. Dustin, how bout some scholarly advice?

Not entirely sure on this one, as I've never used
Hotmail. Any body out there have some information on
this?
