Sendmail and POP3 problems
Well this is two questions on the same topic basically.
First of all, my SMTP was messed up.
/var/spool/mqueue the correct permissions for it are
root:mail drwxr-xr-x
but i found it can only send mail (remotely through smtp and locally) but chmod 4777 ing it (drwxrwxrwx)
That should not be. It says permission denied if I use the correct permissions. I am running LinuxPPC-1999 Q3 with all the latest updates (kernel 2.2.13) and all on a PowerMac 6500/250 btw. And POP3 doesn't work. I nmap myself and it is running, I enabled it in inetd.conf and did killall -HUP inetd. locally it works but when i try to check it remotely (via spruce) it just wont work and when i try sending to my email (via my isp's smtp server) it says relaying denied. This is the first time I am using the mail server, before I was running Eudora Intenet Mail Server on my IIfx and i just retired it yesterday and decided to switch my services onto Linux. Please help!!!

I thank you for this quick response, but I would like to ask for more info. It still does not work,
when i try fetchmail 127.0.0.1, it sayssocket error
when i try fetchmail thehang.dhs.org it says connection refused. i tried what you said (maybe I am not doing something right ?)
and also, my /var/spool/mqueue dir, why does it only work as chmod 4777? it is supposed to be 4755
thanks.
