Setting up mail.

[Alan Eugene Davis <adavis@netpci.com>]

I have given it another shot.  Mail escapes me.  I now have to ask for
help on this.  Mail must be my nemesis, as it took six months to get
it right on my now defunct former system (as some readers may remember?).

I have run the smail setup script, a couple of times, and think I have
more or less reached the limits of choices in my case (?).  I am using
an ISP over a dialup ppp link, sporadically.

I can send mail to another user on my box ok.  I can send mail and
receive mail from other places, and I receive this list fine.  But I
cannot send mail to another user whose address is on the same
mailserver (the ISPs).  

I am using smail.  I tried sendmail, but didn't understand how to make
it work.  

I use emacs VM to read mail.  I suppose there is a possibility that I
could send mail out using the emacs smtpmail utility, but this seems
pretty much a kludge.

Thanks for any advice.
