Hi  
Could any one please give links to any blogs (etc) which gives a  
detailed description on receiving emails to rails application with  
sendmail. I am using fedora12. I request help on configuring mail server  
(if needed) or can use mail server of another domain and forward it to  
my application. Dont know how to, since I am prety new to this. If what  
I am asking is blunder please excuse

Thanks  
Tom
