One last time: smail problem

["David Kanter" <KANTERD@bcbsil.com>]

I'll post this problem one last time: I must type runq at the console after running fetchmail in order for my e-mail reader to see my new mail. This never happened before, that is until I installed Netscape 4.61 the other day; before, I would run fetchmail and smail ran the queue automatically.

This is more an inconvenience than anything else---my system isn't broken. But what can I do to remedy this?

Some info: When installing Netscape, the configuration script said that smail may have to be restarted, and so it was. Also, when reconfiguring smail last night (smailconfig), a message that "There is no crontab" came up. My smail daemon is run via a inet.d.

Should I bag smail and use another MTA?

Thanks all,
Dave
