This is definitely a smtp server issue, if you are using sendmail might I recommend going to postfix (save yourself a lot of self inflicted pain, and it's more secure), it took me about five minutes to convert between sendmail and postfix, partially because postfix comes with a sendmail front end that allows programs to continue thinking they are using sendmail when actually their requests are converted and passed to postfix, it's really slick, and it works really good with Qpopper, have a lot of fun :) BTW suse is my favorite distro and it comes with postfix, just go into yast2 select package postfix under network, it should come up with a dialog telling you that the package conflicts with sendmail, so tell it to remove sendmail and your set, just go into the config file (/etc/main.cf) and follow the instructions (they are very well written) any questions just drop me a line

But no mail! Sendmail is your mail transport for SENDING mail. Have you created the file /etc/mail/relay-domains with the IP and fully qualified DOMAIN NAMES of the machines who intend to relay on that server? Check your sendmail.cf file to see if your SUSE default install searches /etc/mail/ for the relay permission file. - Chris Payne On Fri, 1 Feb 2002 11:14:14 -0500, Tom Jones - RR wrote: >I just installed qpopper in servermode on a suse 7.3 box.
