Sendmail Question

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Steve,

Every once in a while I have run into the same thing. When that
happens I use pine configured to go directly to the inbox of my
ISP instead of the inbox on my local system and fetch my mail
from there instead of using fetchmail. This bypasses my local
sendmail program and it has never failed to unclog the downspout.
