Postfix as a POP3 Server

Can Postfix be setup as a POP3 server. I didn't see anything on their website that plainly said that. I am POPing email from my companies ISP using Fetchmail and would like for users using Outlook to be able to POP their mail from that server.

only ISO-format downloads?
by Per Jessen 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Is opensuse currently only available as 5 CD images/1 DVD image? - is there no option for just retrieving the entire directory tree? I can make do with the images of course, it just seems a little backward when they'll end up in one directory anyway. (I always install from network). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Sign up for your free 30-day trial now!

My big mistake. An exmaple of a valid url is ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-beta1/iso-i386/. I was thrown off by the instruction page and just now realized that it was an "example url" and not a valid url path.

Jessen, You can pull or even install directly over the network from a mirror the full suse distro http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.… The problem is that novell doesn't populate the mirrors with the installable RPMS until a few months after the official store release. I assume they want to make a little money off the box set before unleashing it for free download by their FTP mirrors. Are you not able to pull from these mirrors? -----Original Message----- From: Per Jessen [mailto:per@computer.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 6:45 AM To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse] only ISO-format downloads?

change environment var permanently

(sorry about the previous email with the ^v subject) I can unset an environment var but how do I make it permanent? I want to eliminate LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 from my machine entirely. Thanks Mike

NFSv4
by Gomez, Daniel 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

I'm interested in using NFSv4 on Suse and would like to know where I can find more information on the inclusion of NFSv4 on the upcoming Suse 10 release. The following link is a search in Bugzilla for NFS in suse 10 but there were no hits. https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=rele vance+desc&bug_status=__all__&product=SUSE+LINUX+10.0&content=NFS I've started some basic testing of NFS using Fedora Core 3 to simply familiarize myself with new procedures and features involved in NFSv4 and though NFSv4 will likey be included in Suse 10 in about a month at it's official release, I think the time spent looking at the setup details will only further my understanding of it. However, it would be helpful to see how suse is planning on implimenting it's inclusion in version 10, which I assume it is, so my learning is as accurate to the official suse implimentation as possible. Also I'm interested in any feedback from users who have introduced NFSv4 on linux into production. It seems Red Hat introduced NFSv4 into production in their RHELv4 release. Has anybody had an issues that would suggest the inclusion was premature especially in light of the NFSv4 websites below that seem to suggest that the linux implimentation is not yet completely finished? Thanks, Reference Links --------------------------- NFSv4 - Linux Web Portal http://playground.sun.com/pub/nfsv4/webpage/ Learning NFSv4 with Fedora Core 2 (backporting) http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/NFSv4/NFSv4-no-rpcsec.html
