Won't work in Classic
Authored by: Anonymous on Oct 18, '01 11:46:10AM

If you still use a Classic based mailer (I'm still holding on to Claris Emailer), this stunt won't work. For some reason, the Classic environment and BSD environment don't seem to like sharing localhost connections. My workaround for this was to use MacSSH within Classic to perform the same stunt. Also, Emailer would not accept ed@127.0.0.1 as a valid entry for POP, so I setup a DNS entry for localhost.hintz.org; Emailer is happy with ed@localhost.hintz.org for POP and 127.0.0.1 for SMTP. Kind of annoying to have OpenSSH there and have to use MacSSH in Classic, but that's the way it goes... As for the inevitable comment about migrating to Mail.app, well, I'm just not real happy with it yet. I really wish Apple would open the Emailer source...
