Two things that may help: First, you have to make sure poppeer is in /etc/services and inetd.conf: ---- from /etc/services ---- pop2 109/tcp postoffice # POP version 2 pop2 109/udp pop3 110/tcp # POP version 3 pop3 110/udp ---- from /etc/inetd.conf ---- pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper And then, make sure you have sendmail.cf correctly configured. I modified mine by changing the M4 macro file and re-building: ---- from /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/netbsd-proto.mc ---- MAILER(pop) Hope this helps!
