I have set up my machine to work as a POP mail server.
Everything is working fine on the linux machine, but I can't receive email on the surround worksations. I was told to use the pop server's ip address as both the smtp server setting and the pop server in the various workstations email client programs. The interanal ip for the pop server is 192.168.0.212. I also have a external ip address accessable to the outside internet that my ISP routs to my LAN ip address. Is there settings in sendmail I need to adjust.
well as long as you did not sent sendmail to relay for a specific network range your smtp server setting is not correct. regarding the pop server, it has NOTHING to do with your sendmail config. can you telnet to it ?
Assuming your mailserver MTA is on the POP server, you need to configure sendmail and change the MX record for the domain you wish to receive emails for.
POP is simple - all you have to do is enable in xinetd.
