You can send an email with an MTA ( Mail Transfer Agent ) .
Fedora Core 1 ( i currenlty use 1 probably the next releases
use the same ) has sendmail and postfix . Pick either of them or
any other you wish . Now in order to be able to receive email
then you need a programm that will "download" the emails from the
POP3 Server of your ISP . An example for that would be fetchmail ?
how to do send using proxy
Are you using a proxy server ?

Well as i remember from my isp , he hasn't given me
any ips that could help me send emails .
The IPs i was originally given were the 2 DNS Servers that
i would have to use . For the emails he has given me
an alias of the SMTP server and another one for the POP3 Server .
The SMTP Server is the one that sends emails , whereas the POP3 Server
is the one that helps you fetch emails .

Well am afraid you are not quite specific here . Do you wish to
configure email for a network or for one computer only ?
Do you have a static ip ( an ip that remains the same ) or a
dynamic ip ( one that changes everytime you try to connect to the
internet ) ?
