Run smailconfig as root and tell it that your ISP is your smarthost when it asks. It'll then route all mail that it doesn't know anything about to your ISP. If you want to queue mail that is outgoing to your ISP, edit /etc/smail/config and add a queue_only option to it. Then in your /etc/ppp/ip-up file you can add a /usr/sbin/smail -q to send out your queued mail whenever you're connected to your ISP. Works slick. Do i have to change anything in pines config? You might want to have pine put your ISP mail address into messages. It won't matter locally and that way everything going out to the net will look proper. Any info about the best newsfeed program for a slow link? You've got basically two choices with Debian. You can set up suck (love that name!:-) but it requires setting up INN and I found it a bear to configure; never did get it figured out (let me know if you do, I'd be interesting in seeing the configs for suck and INN). The other option to suck is leafnode. Leafnode's is much better documented and is a breeze to set up (no need for INN or other packages, just leafnode and a newsreader). If you have any questions about leafnode's setup, just hollar. | Debian GNU/ __ o Regards, |/ / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ .| / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / Randy| // /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | ...because lockups are for convicts... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Do i have to change anything in pines config? runq (part of smail) might do it. If pine is giving the mail to smail, then configure smail to forward it to the smtp server provided by your dialup. smailconfig calls it a smarthost. As well what works best to sort mail? Is there also something that will rip stuff off the subject line? I subscribe to a list that has [header:10293] attached to every message so that messages don't get threaded. I use procmail to put the mail directly into pine folders. A lot of people use it, so it's easier to get help. Any info about the best newsfeed program for a slow link?
