I need help with smail. I tried following the advice given below to
another
Debian user. It got me close, but not quite there.
My ISP account is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My Debian account (home pc) is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My full name is (Russell Cook).
Here is the result of my attempt to send mail from my home machine
to my office machine.

This is a test message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] after reconfiguring smail.
<End test message>
In the file /etc/smail/maps/from I put my Debian account names in the left
column,
and my Icon.net account name in the right hand column. Did I do this
correctly,
or backwards? For example,
/etc/smail/maps/from
russ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Russell Cook)
If someone would like to see my config files, I'd be happy to post them.
I'm not at my
home machine right now.
Is there a web site where I can read smail docs and FAQs? The documentation
on my
machine is in "info" format or some such, and I don't know how to format it
for reading.
Also, I use fetchmail and Pine to read my mail. Fetchmail connects, and
retrieves my mail -
I have verbose set, so I know it connects and transfers messages, and I
have the keep option
active. However, no messages are saved on my machine.
/var/spool/mail/russ is a zero length
file. The mail does not seem to be in my home directory either. Can
anyone suggest things
to check?
This is a long post. I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Russ
