On Fri, 11 Oct 2002, John just had to get this off his chest:
I have got balsa set up to read email from the server via IMAP with no problems. However, I can't get the sending side sorted.
What have you done yourself to find out? E.g. read the Postfix documentation etc.?
<sigh> I've read the config files (including main.cf), I've looked at the Postfix website, I've searched the net for config advice. To no avail. I've tried every configuration that seems sensible using the YaST config tool, even though there aren't that many options, and I've tried editing main.cf by hand. The problem is that I don't understand how it all fits together. It seems to me that all I ought to need to do is set the outgoing smtp server to be my mailserver, then balsa ought to be able just to send the email to postfix, which will pass it on to the server. But this doesn't seem to work when I've tried it. Hence my query. I don't need any mail collection because my mail server does this and so the linux box just uses IMAP. All I need is to relay all sent email from the linux box to the mail server at 192.168.0.2 via SMTP.
