Qpopper - or any pop program has nothing to do with your subject - if you
have a firewall (I hope you do, and if not don't say so in this message
because your domain name is in your e-mail address and you'll just announce
to the world that your network is wide open) - then open port 110 on the
firewall to your sendmail - pop box (again, I hope you have deny relay setup
on the sendmail box, and if not, don't tell the list).

Then just have your employees point (the ip address or NAT translation
address your firewall presents for the sendmail\pop box) their favorite mail
client - Eudora has the tightest integration with qpopper - but Outlook will
do (Not my favorite, but I use it on occasion).

And you have connection - then work out the qpopper config as far as leaving
mail on the server or not - because, when the employees pull from home the
mail (in default qpopper installs) leaves the box and goes to the requesting
client.  So if you want your employees to have access to the same mail from
everywhere - then keep the mail on the server - but be forwarned - two
gotchas with that setup.  1. Disk space, you have to watch it and get on
your employees to delete messages when they are done or they will lock the
box up by filling the free disk space.  2.  Virus's - With all that mail in
one place its a virus breeding ground, unless you are tight with your
permissions they will cross-infect each other.

Subject: Receiving Mail from Home


Does anyone know how (if it is Qpopper) to make it so that my employees can
check their mail from home.  When we're in the office we set our outgoing
mail to the name of the Machine that Sendmail is on, but when I try the
domain name it gives me errors.  I am using QPopper with Sendmail on a
Solaris 8 machine.

Thanks,

Kristi
