It's because Fedora Core 3 doesn't include pine as part of the OS. You'll
need to add it, and possibly need to recompile it, from elsewhere.

Evolution is another story, and the configuration of your mail services is a
different matter altogether. Are you running a mail server locally?

Okay.

> Are you running a mail server locally?

Yes, I wish to have a mail server run locally so I can send and receive
internet mail. I prefer sendmail like I was using on RH Linux 9, but I don't
know how to set it manually to send and recieve internet mail.

Is there a page out there that details how to do that?

Also I notice in the services list that pop3 is missing (was there in RH 9).
does that matter?

TIA

There are *LOTS*. I recommend Postfix, it seems to have gotten a lot more
popular than sendmail lately.

Do you mean in /etc/services, or do you mean turned on by default? I
recommend the IMAP server, dovecot, if you're going to serve mail elsewhere.
There are lots of reasons to avoid using POP3.

Here's where I got pine for Fedora. I run qmail instead of sendmail
as a mail server, and dovecot IMAP instead of pop3.

pico has been replaced my nano. I just
(cd /usr/bin; ln -s nano pico)
so I don't have to remember to type nano.

thanx folks. i got pine and pico installed with no problems.

now i was just gonna use sendmail to send and receive internet mail, but now
i'm curious about the other options mentioned throughout this thread. The
main reason I need to run a mail server is to host this email/PHP
application where users email to an account (robot@my-domain.com) and then
the email is forwarded/passed to a PHP script and then an email is sent out
to other users. I also need a mail server to simply host basic web site
email accounts (info, webmaster, help, password, noreply, etc.) and about 5
user accounts (bob, sally, john, etc.). Would sendmail be able to handle
possibly hundreds of simultaneous email messages sent to the robot account
and the be able to send out a lil' more than a thousand simultaneous emails
or would I need something stronger?

TIA

Sendmail handles mail in any volume, it's a MTA depends of course
on your bandwidth and the iron it is running on. Once saw a box
running sendmail getting into a serious mail-loop with a Notes
server. Message flow kept on raising, until the other side came
to a grinding halt. Couldn't impress the system running sendmail
at all.

Anyway " *thousand* *simultaneous* *emails*" sounds to me as if
you would just start a career as spammer and I won't give you any
help on that.

thanx. now that u say it does sound spam-ish. that's not what I'm doing at
all. it's a social networking site. email comes in, processed by PHP script,
checks friends in database and sends message to friends. one email can come
in from maybe a few hundred users at any given time and then maybe 10-15
emails are sent back out based on each of those hundred users, which can
make it a thousand or two emails being sent simultaneously. just hoping
sendmail can handle that
