Anyone have a url for a newbie-ized description of how to setup email on Redhat 7.1?
I want to use pine and filters. From the reading I've done, I'm assuming I need to get fetchmail, sendmail, procmail, and pine configured correctly. I haven't messed with sendmail.
Here is my .fetchmailrc (with server, username, and pw editted):
poll <server>
protocol POP3:
user "<popservername>", with password "<password>" is "Samuel" here;
Here is my .procmailrc:
VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
PMDIR=$home/Samuel/Procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/testing.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/lists.rc
When I type fetchmail, it says it's getting the messages but I can't find them heh. I was thinking that procmail was sending them to the directory I specified in the MAILDIR (/var/spool/mail). I did create a user mailbox there with the touch command (touch /var/spool/mail/Samuel).
Any help or links to helpful sites would be much appreciated. I'm having problems finding a site that incorporates the entire setup process.
