Re: Setting up mail.

Try the following:

<some stuff snipped>


One other thing you need to do: add a blank line, followed by the
following lines to /etc/smail/directors. THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST LINES
OF THE FILE. Otherwise, mail loss is a definite possibility.

smartuser:
        driver=smartuser;
        new_user=$user@<insert POPhost here>, well_formed_only

That tells smail that any mail which it thinks is for it, but it
doesn't know how to deal with should be sent to your POP host.
Without those lines, you will not be able to send mail to anyone else
at your ISP.

If you want the complete post, I can send it to you.
