I still have difficulty with email configurations. Although I can
send and receive mail, things are very basic. Would someone
kindly help me a little further along by explaining/answering:-
a. My .fetchmailrc contains 'warning 3600' at the end the basic
config. (i.e. poll pop.xxxx.xxx with proto POP3 user "xxxx"
there with password "xxxx" is xxxx here warning 3600)
b. I understand a .forward file (in my home directory) will enable
me to sort incoming mail. Can I create it in a text editor (say
pico or ee - my favourites) and are there any special rules
and examples.
c. What are RFC 821 and RFC 822.
d. As a very inexperienced novice, I still find it best to study
the printed word. I don't have a printer attached to this
installation, so I use mtools and take text onto a floppy
for printing by another machine. Is there any easy way to
make man pages (e.g. 'exim.8.gz' after unzipping) capable
of being reproduced without the 'weird bits' which I don't
at present understand.
Grateful for any assistance.
John.
