there is an option for that in you sendmail.m4, something along the lines of local-addr. search for 127.0.0.1 there and ye shall find.

Look for 127.0.0.1 in sendmail.cf and change it to whatever IP you want.

done ;) thanks

its now the problem of port 110, which pop3d server works the best with sendmail? i've tried popa3d but its just too simple to be suitable

i'm installing vm pop3d and hope it works for me

I guess RH 9 comes with a builtin popd. Why don't you use that? http://freshmeat.net and http://sourceforge.net are good choices for searching software.

erm, what features are you missing from popa3d? it is simple because it was meant to be secure - pop3 is not exactly rocket science =]
