Hi Everyone,
I've just signed up for a UNIX shell account to use to host a webpage and email using my own domain name. I've got a couple of POP3 email accounts, and I'm trying to find a way to use them from my shell account, as opposed to Eudora or Outlook, etc. The hosting service hasn't been very helpful, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? So far I've stumbled across "fetchmail", which will get my mail, but I'm not sure how to then send mail out through the Pop3. Mutt? Elm? Here's the hard part: I can't just naively use the regular "mail" or "pine" that comes with
the shell, because when I'm on the shell I'm on the server. This means #1 the mail for ALL of my POP3 accounts gets lumped together so I can't check them separately, and #2 when I send an outgoing message, the domain name is of the server (i.e. the name of the host service, westhost.com) not my domain name. Am I being too stubborn in insisting I deal with my mail using this shell account? Does anyone know of any other hosting services that will let me do this?
Thank you very much,
