I'm trying to use the POP3 server from mh-6.7 with the POP3 client from FTP
Software. My server machine is an Apollo running SR10.2 with the mh built under
the BSD4.3 configuration. It is running sendmail 5.61++/IDA-1.2.8. The client
PC's have MX records in the name servers which redirect their mail to this
system. The /usr/lib/aliases has entries which try to redirect the appropriate
incoming mail to the spop mailer:
efaulk@shelties.dp.beckman.com:efaulk@pop
mheffron@iago:mheffron@pop
however, mail to efaulk@shelties.dp.beckman.com fails with an error about no
such host on "pop" and mail to mheffron@iago (ie. mheffron@iago.css.beckman.com)
seems to go to the "bit-bucket", it never calls the spop mailer (specified by
the popMH.m4 file, included into the Sendmail.mc configuration builder file)
(I determined that the mailer was not being called, by replacing it with a shell
script which echo'd "got it" to a file.)
I'm stumped. Am I doing something (obvious) wrong? Am I assuming is possible
that isn't?
Any and all help appreciated. Please reply by e-mail, our newsfeed is not yet
reliable :-(
Thanks,
-Matt
