Hi List,

this Q. is regarding my home-box running SuSE 9.0. It is connected to the
internet via ADSL where the modem is in IP passthrough mode and handles
all the pppoe stuff for me. I have been successful in sending and
receiving mail through kmail by configuring it to use my provider's
smtp/pop server. So far, local mail stayed local and I was using pine to
look over whatever root sends as regular reports. At this point I would
like to be able to send mail to the outside world, i.e., forward things
automatically to one of my other email addresses (office address). My
provider doesn't allow relaying for obvious reasons. So, now I have to
figure out how to tweak postfix into not attempting to relay but to
actually connecting to my provider's smtp server with authentication and
all and deliver its payload rather than to use it as a relay. At least
this is how I understand how it ought to work.
I seem to be unable to figure this out using YaST, though. Can someone
please point me to the knobs and switches that have to be turned and
thrown? 

Thank you very much, Alex.
