Hi Mark,

provided that you have Postfix installed and depending on whether you know what you are doing you can: a) the easiest way: use YaST to configure Postfix, b) edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and set the proper values. After a) or b), you can start Postfix issuing /etc/init.d/postfix start as root.

Better way of doing option B is editing /etc/sysconfig/postfix and adding the things you need rather then editing /etc/postfix/main.cf For example having this in /etc/sysconfig/postfix and then running suseconfig --module postfix will edit the /etc/postfix/main.cf while using the SuSEconfig as it is designed POSTFIX_ADD_CONTENT_FILTER="smtp:localhost:10025" -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net Please don't CC me.

Hi,

I'm using suse 9. I'm also using webmin. The problem is that I can't reach the smtp server from outside. Also, when I send mails to root I get error mails that the mail couldn't be sent in my emailbox (emailbox = a POP box at the web).

Your ISP my be blocking port 25 ...you should ask them if that is the case. Good luck! --- Linuxjim wrote:

Sorry to barge in on this discussion, but I'm having the same problem.

I have postfix runing and amy trying to send/receive mail to/from outside IP addresses without using my ISP's email servers.

I can send mail out, but cannot seem to recieve. I don't have a domain registerd yet, but trying to send mail to me@ipaddress.

I have SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE=yes

Also have POSTFIX_MDA=local

My firewall (not Suse but a nat router) set for port 25 open, able to ping from wan.

I'm using Kmail as my mua. Network/incoming account type/local to/var/mail/me. Should this be set up as a Maildir account??

Any other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. This has been driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks, I've a SuSE Professional LAN (192.168.1.x) connected with a windows machines [the Windows machines have a Workgroup: Site_1) ... at remote location (connected using Frame Relay) I have another bunch of Windows machines connected using another Workgroup (Site_2) and other LAN (192.168.2.x).

I defined my routes so I can 'ping' the machines at Site_2 from Site_1, also the machines from Site_2 can ssh/access the application on Linux. Almost everything works fine ... but now the customer wants to use the printer's attached to machines on WG Site_2 from a Windows machine located on Site_1.

This is not a fault of linux or the windows machines. You need to turn on bridging on the routers if you want to pass netbios traffic. Either that or putting them all in the same workgroup might help. I have the same setup here, Cisco routers and Frame/Relay but all of our wan connections are in the same workgroup and we can at least reach the remote machines using \\168.192.x.x\share. Just my $.02 Ken Schneider

Yet another person that does not believe that someone that posts a message to the list also belongs to the list. Why CC someone on the list, they will get a copy anyway and they don't need two copies. On Tue, 2004-01-20 at 22:09, Jean Hendrickx wrote:

Perhaps it's because this list insists on sending to the poster, instead of the link. This means that in order to keep it on the list some people have to click on reply to all. If they don't then delete one address, two copies get sent. Yes I have read the FAQ and I still think that practice stinks. If I'm posting to the list, I generally want the replies to go to the list ONLY!!! Having to check to make sure the correct address is selected, is a pain in the a**. Kenneth Schneider wrote:

James, I believe if you check your settings in Mozilla mail, you will find it can be set to reply to the list, if a mail list is specified.

Perhaps in a later version. It doesn't appear to be an option in 1.3.

Secondly, what does mail replies have to do with SMB shares in other LANs? Please start a new mail/thread, if you are going to change the thread and/or body of the message. I also point this to any others that feel the need to change things in mid-stream, since Kenneth felt it necessary to start it.

I'm not the one who started this discussion. IIRC, I replies to a reply to the first mention.

I also know this has been beat to death, but the top posting is getting old. Mozilla allows bottom replies, so I have to blame the user for not taking advantage of it. Simple things make the list much easier & better to use, it's not brain surgery folks, at least give the impression you are trying.

If you've been watching my messages, you'll realize that I generally bottom post, but it's not something I'm rigid about.
