Hello All

I will follow your advice, of course, Jason. It was evident going in that each 
package individually is rather small. The object of the exercise was really 
twofold: to learn more about the individual components and to keep a 
particular install as simple as possible.

Having said that, however, here is the rub (at the moment.) Something is 
broken because although incoming mail works fine, outgoing (the worst 
possible scenario) "seems" to go alright (because kmail reports it sent 
successfully) it doesn't bounce back later, either.

Not having sendmail the smtp option was chosen pushed to the same smtp server 
of the isp used on every box. This is being posted from another box on my lan 
right now.

Is it worth pursuing this or should a proper install be done to close the 
subject?
