I need help setting up mail on my debian system. I've been running it for about a month now. I've got the x-windows system up and running but this mail thing has me stumped.
I've learned DOS inside and out, same for OS/2, and ran an 8 line BBS for 2 years, and didn't have this much trouble. I think that I'm just getting confused with all of the options that are out there. I've got smail, fetchmail, and nmh. When I installed the smail package dselect helped me through a rudimentary configuration and I told it all of the info that I knew. At the end it sent me a test message, but it said that the system wasn't ready. I'm lost here. I've read the docs that came with smail and fetchmail but am totally confused. If someone could give me some pointers, steps to follow, or signs to look for, I'd be really grateful. A step by step setup guide would be great. It doesn't have to be incredibly detailed but the more the better. Thanks!
