I recommend using POP-before-SMTP. It is a simpler, cleaner solution that works with more clients. > Anyone know how to set this up with sendmail? Don't use sendmail. Ever. It is a buggy and insecure. I recommend using qmail. It is a much better MTA. It is faster; reliable; more modular; more UNIX-like; easier to setup and configure; and most of all, secure: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/guarantee.html There is an excellent guide available for installing and configuring qmail: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ Once you understand how qmail works, you can setup a server very quickly using qmail-conf: http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf.html You can easily do POP-before-SMTP with relay-ctrl: http://untroubled.org/relay-ctrl/ Note that due to qmail's modular design, no changes to qmail are required. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
