What is the default MTA for SuSE 9.0? And where within Yast2 does one change it?
Default is Postfix (2.0.14 iirc). To change you select another mailer-daemon (sendmail is the only other choice) in the software selection. Group : Productivity/Networking/Email/Servers
Just out of curiosity (since I haven't been having any MTA problems I know of), if I try to install Sendmail, will Yast complain of a conflict? And if not, how would I say that I still want to use Postfix?
I'm not sure, but I think YaST is clever enough to know that the two bite each other. Anyway: *you* should be clever enough /not/ to install more than one MTA. SuSE doesn't have a tool to switch between MTA's like RH does, so if you're /not/ clever enough, and do install more than one MTA, you're on your own to solve the sure to come problems.
The fact that both use a binary called sendmail would be enough to cause problems. Ken
