[Bug 431002] New: Yast2 mail client lacking important features
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431002 Summary: Yast2 mail client lacking important features Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jamesrome@alum.mit.edu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer Comcast blocked me from sending mail on the usual port. The Yast2 mail module (which configures PostFix) does not offer the user the ability to pick the mail port, or to enable TLS. In /etc/sysconfig/postfix, I can change the port to 587 (required by Comcast) by adding :587 to smtp.comcast.net. But if I run the yast mail module again, it objects to this. The ability to set the smtp port and encryption for the mail transfer agent are critical, and need to be supported in the Yast2 tool. The inability to do this blocked my tripwire reports, and could have led to a security issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Do you use the server of Comcast as mail-releay ? If yes you can set: POSTFIX_RELAYHOST="<comcast.server>:587" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My point was that you should be able to do it via Yast2, and worse, if you do this manually, and then run Yast2 mail configuration, it croaks. It won't let you put the port number in. These are reasonable capabilities to build into Yast2 IMHO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now I've enhanced the "Outgoing Mail" wizard with a check box "The server use TLS" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
