POP:
/etc/hosts.allow: (as required)
ipop3d: 192.168.
^^^^^^ may vary depending on the version of popd; check your docs.
This one is for LM7.2 pop (in imap rpm).
/etc/pam.d/pop: (if all setups seem fine & pop still won't login)
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
Setup "Mail Servers" preferences in NS (use machine name, IP, or "localhost").
PostFix:
start with the default setup...
Test by sending mail to your userid (goes into /var/spool/mail/<userid> and try
retrieving it with NS.
If you are not getting mail directly (i.e., you have an ISP provided mailbox),
you'll need fetchmail to bridge the gap between the ISP mailer and your postfix.
