hi
Im new to Linux and try to install fetchmail and installed it, my
problem I successfully retrieved my email using Outlook Express but
when I tried to send an email. is fetchamil also capable of doing this
if yes how would i configure it to send an email.
Hi,
Fetchmail isn't capable of sending mail - it's a mail retrieval tool
only.
If your mail program can't talk to an SMTP server directly (or you
prefer
your mail program to call a "sendmail"-style program) you'll need to
install
a mail server program such as Sendmail, Postfix, Exim or qmail on your
Linux box.
Your Linux distribution will have one as part of the package/sources set
(Sendmail, Postfix
or Exim on most)
Thanks,
Toto
Michael.
