Even though a little config script hasn't been written for postscript (like they have for smail and exim), it's simple to set it up for a dial-up machine. If your computer has a valid hostname (for example, you've registered with DynDNS or a similar service), then you might want to set the myorigin variable to your fully qualified domain name, and use your email program to set the proper From: header (more below). Add the following lines to the bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf: myorigin = <your fqdn> # /etc/mailname should contain the same name relayhost = <your ISP's mail server> That's it! > bash-2.04$ cat .fetchmailrc > poll pop.mindsprind.com protocol POP3 username batemand is > dsb password xxxxxxx fetchall This looks okay.

It will work fine with fetchmail and postfix without any changes to the configuration, though you will almost certainly want to configure some things to behave the way you want rather than the way the maintainer wants. > Seems like a-lot of work compared to netscrape, but then, when X > goes down and your only help is > this mail-list...well, you get the point.
