All,

I am setting up a new qpopper server, and I am a complete newbie to
setting up mail in the unix/linux world. I have configured an exchange
box on ms, but that is easy as you just click through the wizards.
Anyway, how does it work? How does Qpopper know that it is supposed to
server the mail for a particular domain, or is this accomplished by an
mx record? also, since I am going to allow clients to connect to my
server and they will need to send email as well, does qpopper send mail
another words, if they set there smtp server to the same as the pop
server will they be able to send mail, or am I just crazy. I know this
sounds like duh, he should know this, but once again in the MS world
things are done by a simple wizard and then click and point. I haven't
been in the Unix/Linux world very long, but I know that it has been
easier so far even though there are no click and point wizards. So
anyway, please respond. PS I know that SMTP and POP use different ports
so I realize that unless qpopper listens on both ports, it cannot send
mail. Thanks,
