- I have to repost because of mistakes in my previous posting.
-
- I have a problem with networking my NeXT with the rest of the world,
- and hope you can help me.
-
- I set the NeXT as a NetInfo server and mail server. The users on the NeXT
- can send out e-mail through Internet, but not receive mail. The super user
- "root", however, can send AND receive mail. The NeXT networks fine when
- telnet command is issued. The problem is only with e-mail.
-
- If I did not set the NeXT as a NetInfo server, or set to non-NetInfo with
- NetInfoManager, e-mail will simply not work, but telnet always works.
-
- What's the problem?
-
- Thank you very much for your time and help.
