Hi Peter (and everyone who replied),
I discovered after I sent this E-mail that ETRN is indeed a Sendmail issue
and not a qpopper one. Thanks to all who replied anyway :) Sometimes when
you're not familiar with a concept it is difficult to tell at first if the
POP server or Sendmail is responsible.
However Peter, don't assume that because my mail is coming from jellico.com
that this is the mail server I'm talking about. As you discovered,
jellico.com is not a FBSD box running sendmail or qpopper. Actually that
server is jellico.net
I understand a lot more about ETRN this morning than I did yesterday morning
though I'm still having some trouble getting it implemented correctly. I'll
take that issue to a sendmail list though.
Thanks again,
Lisa Casey, Webmaster
