Please, help me with Mercury

:oops: I have trouble with configuring the default stuff. I don't know where to start reading the help file. It happens to me the same when configuring LINUX's Postfix: what is my full qualified domain name?
I have a fqdn registered and I use it in a free site at Internet. But I think that I won't configure Mercury to fetch the emails from my pop mail outside, would I? I mean, I prefer to manage first my local machine, later might be I could add my fqdn from www.
Actually I am interested in telling Mercury how it can fetch-deliver the emails from-to Internet. I only see that I must declare a fqdn.
I pay an ISP for connecting and having an email address, not a site.
The connection is accessing by eth0 to a subnetwork of the domain-name.
My machine is named Aleteia.
Could I consider my fqdn:aleteia.domain.com ?
Where does my username and password go at Mercury?
:idea: An example would help me a lot. I know that Mercury is a good , very good product, but I always have trouble in understanding the way of configuring it.
I can't understand well this of the fqdn. I don't think that my fqdn is defined in any domain name list anywhere, so it couldn't be allright, can it?
:) Thank you in advance.

Mercury is working fine- Read some Pegasus newsgroup setups.

Hi,
Mercury is now working fine. I had got stuck with Network configs, and not very clear setup instructions. But setup is very simple. I read some Pegasus news and configured Mercury Ok. It is easy if you know what to do.
I will try to update my docs with some mercury config.stuf.
:)
