I am fairly new to linux and suse but I am trying to set up 8.2 pro as a mail server. I have recieved all of the updates. and found this in the documentation to create forward listeners
ssl -L 25:myserver:25 myserver ssl -L 110:myserver:110 myserver You either mean ssh (secure shell), which is used with the above syntax: ssh -L 25:myserver:25 myserver
OR You want to use stunnel and forward requests to port 995 on your server to the local port 110: stunnel has to be configured in /etc/inetd.conf like this: pop3s stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/stunnel stunnel -r localhost:110 (you may need to install and start inetd as it is not installed per default). Secure mail transfer is a bit trickier, because it always uses port 25. At least it is a good idea trying to use encryption, even if you have problems to configure it!
