A little each day I spend configuring. I've worked out most things with books and man pages. I am connected to the internet by cable modem. Links worked perfectly right away. Where I am failing is setting up my email. I am not trying to be a mail server, just get and send mail through my ISP. The documentation seems to be geared to mail servers. This is really confusing me. Can someone point me in the right direction for help on email? Just a nudge in the right direction would be most helpful. I apologize for posting with OE. Thanks!
