Can I use Pop3d whith Sendmail as MTA ?
I've created the configuration you explained in your reply, and all my users
can look at their mail using telnet and Pine.
But I didn't succeed in configuring mail client on their Zindozs machine.
When they try to download their mail, they get connected, and the Linux box
shuts down the connection.
Thanks,
Eric
