Use Yast to set up your mail transfer agent, it is in Network services category. In the last screen you have a check box at the top that reads something like "allow incoming connections". That should not be checked as you do not want to be receiving mail from outside unless you are using your machine as a mail server, and then you must carefully read the manual that comes with postfix and figure out yourself how to configure it. This will not stop you reading your mail as kmail probably uses pop or imap to fetch the mail which will not be stopped. You should also activate the Firewall to block incoming connections. It can also be done from Yast. Regards, Gulli -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Phone: +354 849 8405
