Hello,
I am kind of new to linux. Though I have been using Linux on my laptop for some time for developing Java Applications, I never had a chance to configure a mailserver on Linux box.
I want to set up a mail server at home. My understanding is to configure sendmail first and second install POP3 server like qpopper.
When I try to set up sendmail on SuSE Linux 7.1, the SuSE handbook says to update rc.config for the following variables SENDMAIL_TYPE, SENDMAIL_HOST, SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST........, which I don't see'em in rc.config.
Does anybody know of any on-line step-by-step instruction on configuring sendmail on SuSE7.1 with YaST1 or any other good source you think that I can benefit from.I did download sendmail. But, instruction that came with it were dispersed and daunting.
The easiest way to configure sendmail is through yast. You select SystemAdministration->Network configuration->Configure sendmail The variables you are looking for have moved to /etc/rc.config.d/sendmail.rc.config You can change their values also through yast: System Administration->Change configuration file
Note: Is there any other product easier than this, commercially or non-commercially?
Look at postfix. Much easier to configure and understand than sendmail -Kastus
