[NTLUG:Discuss] Problems retrieving mail

Thanks for the tip, Alton, but it's starting to look like the problem is
with sendmail. For those of you who are unfamiliar with fetchmail, when it
retrieves mail from the POP server, it passes it to sendmail for local
delivery. The error messages I am getting are from sendmail on my system.
Any further insight from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks again to
Alton. (We SP'ers need to stick together!)
Later,
Keith
