Hello everyone... I am new to this and I need to configure my email
account. How do I go about this? I have sendmail and procmail that came
with redhat 5.0 but I could not find a comprehensive HOWTO document to be
able to configure it. Any help would be appreciated. You can e-mail me too.
I have 2.0.x kernel running on Toshiba laptop with PPP configured and
working. I also want to know if there is one command to connect to my ISP
instead of typing out the whole path to my ppp-on file.
thankyou...

Well, the initial configuration of Sendmail is no easy task. I'd
strongly urge you to look for the book "sendmail" published by
O'Reilly & Associates by Bryan Costales and Eric Allman. It's about
1020 pages long and will tell you nearly everything you need to know
about sendmail.

Good luck. Sendmail configuration is a nightmare.

One way to do it is to create an alias:
alias ppp-on='/usr/sbin/ppp-on'.
Put this in your .bash_profile or csh.login or whatever, and it will be
available every time you log in. Another way is to add /usr/sbin to your
PATH.
