[plug] Am trying to set up a newsgroup as a "knowledge base" for programming lessons...

[Gary Allpike]

Just remember,

sendmail is NOT a POP server.

You will need something else to do POP - I suggest cucipop.

Sendmail - despite its name - doesnt SEND mail to the client - only to
other servers.

regards

Gary
