[PLUG] frustrated with email servers - need help

[Carla Schroder]

Hi Josh,

Some ideas: read "Life With qmail" , by Dave Sill, 
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html. Have you subcribed to the user mail 
list, or searched the archives? Lots of good information there, if you ignore 
the cranky ones.

How are you with DNS, is there an MX record pointing to your mail server?

You won't need a POP server for local mail handling, that's for remote user 
access. qmail will deliver directly to your local mailboxes.
