mchirico LQ Newbie Registered: Mar 2004 Distribution: Redhat and direct source Posts: 27 Rep:	Getting Comcast Email on Home Linux Box Getting Comcast Email on Home Linux Box Mike Chirico Copyright (c) 2004 (GPU Free Documentation License) Last Updated: Mon Jun 28 11:38:40 EDT 2004 Link To Latest Version: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/s...L.txt?download The following instructions explain how to send and receive Comcast email from a home Linux box, which is connected to the Internet via Comcast cable model. To make things interesting, assume the Comcast email is different from the account on the Linux computer. Yet, through "mutt", "elm" or whatever, make it possible to send email to other comcast users, or anyone else on the Internet. When receiving email have it forwarded to the local Linux account. These instructions are written with "mchirico@comcast.net" being the Comcast account and "chirico@third-fl-71" being the Linux local account. Note the missing "m" in "mchirico" on the local account. These instructions my be helpful when using other "ISP" as well. Please note, these instructions where too long to post here; but, can be viewed, in full, from the following: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/s...L.txt?download I hope this helps, Mike Chirico
