>>>>>>I currently have Sendmail installed and its working well. I have found outside clients (Outlook, netscape, ect.) can send but not recieve email. I looked it up and found that I need to install POP3 software.

>>>>>I've used qmail as my POP3 server in the past. I believe the link is www.qmail.org , but you probably already have something easier to use that came with Mandrake. Mandrake 8 came with an RPM Software Manager that will allow you to easily install the packages that shipped with it. Hopefully, you have the same utility in 7.2.

>>That's correct, but all commerical Linux distros that I've used include the POP3 protocol without the need to download an RPM copy. Unless, of course, you were upgrading...:)
