At the risk of sounding really stupid, do I need to invoke BOTH the
corrected script (minus the qmail-smtpd part) AND the old one (pop-3, etc.)?
In other words, will I have two tcpserver scripts, one invoking the pop-3
and the other the qmail smtpd?
As I said, I am a complete newbie with email and no great shakes with much
of this stuff to begin with. I hope you folks aren't getting to tired of
answering these dumb questions.
Thanks,
Bill
