how do i set up popmail?

Hello,
how do i set up popmail? Do i need to download something to install it? unlike sendmail, i can already send mails from my Linux machine to other network machines but my server cannot receive any incoming mails, it kept on bouncing back to senders [repliers] ...

Thanks in advance.

I don't know that you need to install anything as much as you need to properly configure sendmail.

Check you maillog and the system log for clues as to why sendmail is bouncing the messages:

On many Linux distributions, you would examine /var/log/messages (the system log) and /var/log/maillog, sendmail's logfile.

For information on configuring sendmail, refer to a sendmail howto such as

http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/RH-sendmail-HOWTO/book1.html

or

http://www.sendmail.org/m4/readme.html

or the linux system administration guide at

http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/nag2/x-087-2-mail.delivery.html

happy mailing
