Dear "Net",
Is it necessary to make changes to sendmail.cf when using popper ?
According to documentation on the pop3 implementation included with 
MH, a new mailer is added and a special (non)-rewriting rule added
for that protocol server. However, popper does not mention this in
it's documentation.

Without these changes, I find that mail sent via Eudora -> popper ->
sendmail gets the return address rewritten into uucp format, and 
incorrectly at that ( it has two !! between machine name and user name ).

Have any of you seen this problem, or know the necessary magic to fix it ?


George
