> As you can imagine i have installed fully RH 7.1 and wanted to configure sendmail to act as full email server, which means SMTP and Pop3 server altogether in the same machine (if that is possible) Sendmail is already installed there, but it seems to work only for the local machine.

Is there any place where i can find some information just how to modify sendmail.cf file in order to accomplish what i need (or at least to find a sendmail.mc file). > > I have read the Howto's on redhat site about sendmail but it doesn't include something of how to implement everything in one machine. > > is it ok that i have installed all the packages of Redhat to make possible for Sendmail to run or do i have to install redhat only as a server ? > > Any help would be appreciated. > > Genti
My recommendation would be to uninstall Sendmail, and install something easier to use, faster, newer, and well-supported, such as Exim. Just my personal preference. RedHat has an rpm for the older 3.x series of Exim. There are also a number of people who have built rpm's for the new 4.x series. I do recommend the 4.x series, because it is even easier and more flexible to use. See www.exim.org for more details. But DO NOT try to run both Sendmail and Exim on the same machine. (There is no need to do so, anyway.) As far as I know, neither Sendmail nor Exim handles POP3, because they are SMTP servers, not POP servers. But RedHat provides a decent POP3 service. (Take a peak at /etc/xinetd.d and see if there's anything like ipop3d in there. If so, just enable it. "cat" the file (it is small) and it should be obvious what edit is required. Then restart xinetd.) Yes, you can absolutely run both servers on the same machine. In fact, I think it would be easiest to do so; otherwise you'd have to configure one or the other to push or pull emails between the two machines.
