I am attempting to set up a mail server on a local Suse 10.3 box. I am totally lost!! Sorry if I'm being a bit slow.....
You're saddling the horse from the wrong side. The first thing you need to do is to define what services should be available for what clients, everything else will follow that design.
The usual questions are:
Does this server accept mails directly from the internet? - requires fixed ip and official domain name possible but not recommended is a dialup with dyndns account Well, yes I would like it too.... have a dyndns account with an adsl connection... Does this server provide mail services for internal LAN users only or does he relay for internet users? - in that case you have to set up smtp authentication Internet users....
Do you require Webmail? - that would need an imap server to connect to That would be nice...
Is this a private server only for your amusement or do you want to set up a company mailserver? For learning, with a bit of amusement thrown in... :-)
Yep, it is mainly for learning purposes, also playing with web forms etc etc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
