Now, I don't know if I am configuring Postfix incorrectly for a dial-up connection (even though I've looked at the documentation and several web sites about how to do so) or some other problem, but I cannot send mail, either through "sendmail" (Postfix is supposedly a drop-in replacement for sendmail, so all the normal stuff like 'sendmail -q' should work) or through a SMTP server on the other end. 'mailq' will show messages in the queue, but I can't send them out, no matter what I do. The ideal would be to send it to an SMTP server on the other end (something I did back when I was using Mandrake), but just being able to send it out at all would be nice. I have tried Kmail, Mozilla(!), and Sylpheed, but no joy. /var/log/mail.* (.err, .info, .log) don't turn up anything. I've even tried a completely different server, with no luck. So I don't know what the matter is or where to start. Mail has always been a pain in the rear for me, ever since I had to rewrite sendmail's config file to support dial-up connections. And that was two years ago, on my laptop, with RH5.2! I must have bad karma when it comes to mail... :Peter
