I'm upgrading a box from redhat to suse 8.1 pro. One task this box will assume is SMTP host. I've been using sendmail on the redhat box, but am interested in using postfix provided I can get it working. :)
Here's what I changed in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
myhostname = somehost.domain.com mydomain = domain.com myorigin = $mydomain
After starting postfix, I can send mail from the localhost and the command line using this:
echo "a test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail jejonas@yahoo.com
But I'm not able to connect to postfix from another host using:
telnet somehost 25
Jason, Under Yast2 there is a box to check under the Incoming mail section of the Mail Transfer Agent. It is marked "Accept remote SMTP connections" OR in the file /etc/sysconfig/mail change the variable SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE="no" to "yes" -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
