I have just installed pine and I have found out that it will read 
messages but not deliver them.  What it is doing is that a message is 
being sent to no-mans land.  What files are needed to get the system 
running. I ftp'd the pine 3.89 from soils.agron.iastate.edu that is 
supposed to work with MMDF, well I missed fsome config files and I have 
no idea at to what they are.  The file only was th bin and not the rest.

I need help. 

Thanks
David Allred

Pine should run without any config files beyond the .pinerc file which it
creates the first time you run it.  As an experiment you might try setting
smtp-server in your .pinerc file.

Well, does /bin/mail work as a mail submission agent?  It looks to me 
(like I said in that last message) like you've got some funky permissions 
problems within the MMDF subsystem, or worse.  I finally looked up the 
permission command you should run, so try typing:

# /etc/fixperm -nd MAIL /etc/perms/*

which will report, but not repair, all the errors of the MAIL subsystem 
as defined by the files in the /etc/perms directory.  'man fixperm' for 
more information.

Let me know.
