HTML is not appropriate. You should use fetchmail (from the ports) to collect mail from mail.force9.net and post it locally. For outgoing mail, the stock sendmail configuration file should probably work (with a Cwmyname.force9.co.uk if that's not your host name). You shouldn't see the errors you mention unless you're trying to run sendmail as a daemon a second time (-bd). Perhaps you're using -bd instead of -q ? > Hello, > > after months of agony, pain, misery..... I just got my User PPP working. :-) > But my email isn't working. In fact when the PPP link comes up I get a load of errors from sendmail along the lines of: > > sendmail[450]: problem creating SMTP port > sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: cannot bind: Address already in use > sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: server SMTP socket wedged: exiting > > Now I get hundreds of these messgaes flooding my xterms.... > > Also when I try to download mail from my ISP's incoming mail server (mail.force9.net) using the sendmail ETRN command "ETRN ", I get: > > 502 unimplemented(#5.5.1) > > Any ideas?? > > Thanks, > > Ghulam -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
