[Techtalk] sendmail

[Rob Stevens]

Wolf,
Sendmail is for sending electronic mail only.  to recieve the mail you need
a POP3, or IMAP style server.  If you can send email through localhost, or
through your packet router, then Sendmail is working just fine.  For
incoming mail usually (unless you absolutely need to run the incoming mail
server) is best accessed from your ISP, or email service.
