[TAG] Settin up the mail subsystem

[Claude S. Sutton]

I start my Alltel wireless with "pon alltel".

"pppconfig" rewrites the "/etc/resolv.conf" file everytime "pon" is 
activated.

Probably because the Alltel connection only works with a dynamic DNS 
setting in "pppconifg".

I tried to outsmart it by setting the DNS setting to "none", as the 
directions in "pppconfig" say that is the thing to do if you do not want 
"resolv.conf" re-written on every startup.

That did not work.  What happens is that "pppconfig" puts some weird DNS 
in the file that Alltel can't use.

So I need to find out how to tell "fetchmail" to see  "order hosts,bind".
