I have redhat 4.2 running on my in-house network. &nbsp;Sendmail is working fine as a SMTP server for the other W95 machines on the net; likewise pop3d works fine as a POP3 server to those machines. &nbsp;BUT... sendmail and pop3d don't seem to know about each other, so mail from one local user to another does not end up in the recipient's POP3 mailbox.<br />
<br />
Sendmail's store is in /var/spool/mail; pop3d's store is in /usr/spool/mail. &nbsp;Is fixing this as simple as getting sendmail to use the same dir structure as pop3d? &nbsp;If so, how? &nbsp;I can't find anything in sendmail.cf to change this, and pop3d doesn't seem to use *any* config file.<br />
<br />
If it requires a procmail recipe or something similar, does anyone have an example recipe/script/etc to handle it?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
