Hi, folks.

I am running FreeBSD 2.0-950112-SNAP using pppd to link up.
I got most of everything running, except that sendmail will
not send out queued up mail and I don't have any idea how to
set unix up as a POP client.

Two sendmail questions: Why isn't it sending out my mail?  The
darn thing runs every 30 minutes.  How do I tell it that best
is a better connected postmaster so that it forwards mail that
it doesn't know how to send to best?

One POP question:  I have the popper code, but this looks like
server stuff.  How do I set up POP in client mode?  And doc pointers?

Thanks,
-David Paigen
