I have my own domain w/ a few pop acounts on the server. I get a relaying denied error if I try to send mail before I have popped my mails so I presume they are using pop before smtp.
Of course the *technical* contact I was referred to gave me the profound advice to use outlook, and told me to first check my mail, then send the mail, and that I needed to do this only *the first time* and that I would not have the same problem repeated. This after I had mentioned in my initial mail that I used linux w/ sendmail/fetchmail/mutt combo. Maybe he thought sendmail & fetchmail are verbs :). I also asked if they support smtp-auth but that query was conveniently left unanswered. Anyway, previously I had the following in my /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ---------------------- fetchmail -v & sendmail -q wait --------------------- and all my mail transfer occured automatcally on going onlne (I am on a dial-up). This has been working for me since I had initially loaded RH 5.2 (from pcq). Now with this pop before smtp business I have had to make ip-up.local non-executable and manually run sedmail -q after fetchmail has run. What I want to know is how can I automate that sendmail -q should only *after* fetchmail has done ? regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri.
