I am running Red Hat 3.0.3 upgraded to kernel 2.0.21, sendmail, popclient and
exmh 1.6.4. My ISP requires that I use POP. I am running popclient via a cron 
job as root. My email goes into /var/spool/mail/root. I suspect this is because
popclient is running as root. All email to my domain is dropped into my
account on my ISP. I don't think piping popclient (-c) thru sendmail will
work. A strings /usr/bin/popclient seems to indicate that it sends its
output thru procmail. Is there a way to get incoming email dumped into the
proper mboxes? Can someone point me in the right direction? As I am new to 
Unix/Linux I am seeing cross-eyed reading man pages/docs learning how to
configure, administer and maintain this very nice OS!

Can someone please explain what $HOME/.forward is supposed to contain? I do
not have a man page for forward(5).

This is a humoungous learning curve!

Thanks in advance!

Bob
