I use a dial-up connection (ppp) with my ISP. So, I use popclient to download my mail. However, it seems like 'root' is getting mail from my ISP without even using popclient; it seems to come straight to my machine automatically straight from the POP server by itself. This is probably not what is happening; I think I got it when posting to some newsgroup. But I didn't use any pop client mail program to download it, which is strange. When using a dialup ISP, I didn't think it was possible to receive mail directly, since the ISP serves as a gateway (I think). Maybe there is a glitch with my service provider. Any suggestions? BTW I've created a login with my ISP's username (dmm125). I figure this way I can use pine to send outgoing email with the correct return address, since pine will let me fill in my domain, and my username is automatically correct. I was at a loss to find a better way to configure sendmail so that I can send email as 'root', and still have the return address 'dmm125@belllantic.net', but my 'true' domain stay as 'myname.my.domain'. The mail I got is shown below (all attachments were sent to me as shown). Any help appreciated.
