I am trying to configure a SCO Openserver 5.0 machine to receive e-mail from Demon Internets SMTP mail servers (punt1, punt2,punt3 & punt4). PPP is setup and working in that I can use functions such as ping, telnet, finger, mosaic etc. DNS is setup and appears to be working. A link to demon is established when unkown hosts are 'ping'ed, and the demon nameservers return the IP address. MMDF is set to use the DNS for all hosts. post.demon.co.uk is set as the target for the smtp badhosts channel. Mail is transmitted okay to post.demon.co.uk, and is delivered, but Mail is not picked up. When I use finger to check my mail status I can see mail waiting to be collected. I setup a dynamic incoming ppp link for 'nppp', and configured it for IP negotiation. When I check syslog, the nppp account is not activated when I deliver mail or use finger to check the mail status. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance :-) James Carter james@loopy.demon.co.uk (Ears are flapped on sunny days - Don't mean nuthin')
