i installed postfix with yast and configured it with yast Postfix is running with clamav
I first would like to use it as smtp server but it could be interesting to use it too to intercept my email accounts too.
To get postfix to deliver your mail, it has to either have access to a working DNS server, or access to a mail server that will relay on its behalf. It then has to know what's local, and what's not local. The defaults generally work very well. To let us know exactly how things are configured, it would probably help to send the output of "postconf -n" and the output of "postconf mydomain myhostname". It would also be helpful to know what kind of connection you're on - dial-up or broadband - and whether your ISP will allow outgoing connections on port 25. To test that last thing, just telnet to some arbitrary mail server on port 25, like "telnet mail.suse.com 25" (then type QUIT, followed by a return). BTW, postconf -n will display non-default settings, so we know what's changed. --Danny, pretty sure we can get your needs met
