Hi,
I have my normal email setup with several pop3 servers from my internet service provider. No problems there.
I'm using sylpheed as my mail reader.
But now comes my question...
I've never been able to make programs like fcron or the e-log-feature from portage send mail to root@localhost and then be able to read it from my normal e-mail-client ( Sylpheed ).
What do I have to install ?
tnks,
Victor

all you need to do is find where the local mail spool is kept. this could be in /var/mail/spool, etc. then that is the mailbox which can be read by sypheed et all. so you don't have to install anything, just find it.
