openSUSE by default installs postfix as your SMTP server. For what you are trying to do, postfix is fairly easy to setup. The main config file is /etc/postfix/main.cf; each config option is well commented with plenty of docs @ www.postfix.org. Besides postfix, you will need to setup a POP3/IMAP server. Dovecot does both and for basic functionality it is easy to setup. It's config file is similar to postfix. Additionally, you will have to install/configure fetchmail if you want to retrieve external emails to your domain. Start simple configuration: 1. domain 2. relay based on subnet. 3. smarthost being your ISP's SMTP server. and then add the complexities one by one (SMTP AUTH, TLS etc.) HTH -- Arun Khan -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
