Re: Mail Q

[Klaus Drews <klaus_drews@ngi.de>]

I am using exim for sending and fetchmail receiving mail. So its easy to compose mail on
my machine and exim delivers it. At the same time (to save money) fetchmail is started,
when the link to my ISP is up. 
To see if you can access your telnet-account-machine try telnet <IP-adress> 25. That
lets your telnet connect to port 25, which is the mail port. If this works, you can setup your
programs, connect to your ISP, uni, whatever and let the programms get the mail.
