I am not sure if this is where I address questions about ports. Did briefly subscribe to the freebsd-ports list and it was way above my head, so I got off of there before anybody knew I was in it. I installed pine 4.33 to act as an e-mail client for my box. (FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE) First I will offer some back ground information that might be helpful to the problem. BACKGROUND: On first operation, it complained that /var/mail had vulnerable permission s and recommended them to be set to 1770, so I chmod'ed the permissions of that directory accordingly. Error message was never seen again. PINE sends mail just fine, from any user including root. THE PROBLEM: E-mails are not being received. When sending an e-mail to this machine from a seperate machine, e-mails disappear. When logging on as root, it says "You have new mail", but now messages are displayed. I have links to 4 text files that might be used to give insight to this problem directory.txt - 'ls -alR' executed from /root/ pinerc.txt - .pinerc from the root account inbox.txt - copy of the inbox file from /root/mail/inbox messages.txt - possibly relevant exerpts from /var/log/messages http://www.public.iastate.edu/~legg/freebsd/directory.txt http://www.public.iastate.edu/~legg/freebsd/pinerc.txt http://www.public.iastate.edu/~legg/freebsd/inbox.txt http://www.public.iastate.edu/~legg/freebsd/messages.txt Timothy D Legg legg@iastate.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
