Sendmail and mh are working fine on my machine. Fetchmail is also successfully pulling mail from the psu servers. What I need to do is have the outgoing mail for hawk@hawkins.ds.psu.edu be turned over to smtp.psu.edu to be sent as reh18@psu.edu rather than delivered directly from my machine. At the moment, I'm reading mail just fine, but to reply I end up pasting and using netscape to send back out (otherwise the non-subscriber posting to the list problem arises). I tried looking at the configuration file for sendmail, but it's kind of intimidating :) Also, a global file seems to be the wrong place to map the local account to the outgoing account . . . I could just run all the mail off my own box, but the computing "support" folks are already frosted by my not using windows (Penn State is one of the schools that signed the deal with the devil for free microsoft stuff). Also, the local power grid seems to be suspect--apparently losing power for a day or two isn't rare . . . hawk -- Prof. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
