Ok, well if you are a single user on your system here if a script that you
can
use until you find something better. This script works just fine however it
is
somewhat of a security risk. Tho I believe there are far more risks than
this
script.
Anyway you will need to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file and add your DNS IP
#'s.
The mail script uses POP3. I like useing PINE as my mail program and it
works
just fine with this script. If you use pine you will need to edit a few of
the config
lines. Just run pine, choose setup and then {C} for configure.
Well hope this helps ya get started.
