Here's what I do on my Sun workstations and my linux boxen when I need to use
CLI mail clients (ok, I only use pine and mailer):
edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and set DMmydomain.com
This way sendmail is masq'ing as my domain.
(restart sendmail)
open up pine, set my config stuff to have my return address be
me@mydomain.com.
install fetchmail
make a sweet ~/.fetchmailrc file that pulls my mail from all my pop3/imap
sources. make sure that fetchmail knows that I want my mail to go to MY local
mail account, so be sure to include a "is [insert local username here]" is in
there for each account.
put fetchmail in my crontab:
crontab -e
5 * * * * fetchmail
make a sweet ~/.procmailrc file to sort my mail into folders
make a sweet ~/.signature file for when I want to email someone and impress them
with my knowledge of silly popular unix jokes. (lol)
This is just random nullfeed out of my brain. Hey, it's 23:40, whatcha expect?
