Well gang, I've got a few boxes running SUSE 8.0 Pro. I would like to be able to send mail between hosts on the LAN, which is not connected to the outside world. The Yast Mail module didn't do anything that I can tell. At leasat I don't get e-mail between hosts. Having viewed the READMEs and other documentation, I think I'm more confused than enlightened. I'm using a hosts file - not a DNS server. (I know that sendmail can use a "well-formed" hosts file.) I have set /etc/sysconfig/mail to SMTP_LISTEN_REMOTE="yes" I have not attempted to generate a custom sendmail.cf file at this point. I have not added any entries to /etc/mail/local-host-names. There is not one example of the format, though I'm guessing I just list all the hosts using FQDN on a separate line. I could be wrong, but I see no examples to follow. The reference manual says to use Yast mail module for configuration. Refer back to my comments above on that note. If I can get 2 boxes e-mailing each other, I'll get the rest up later. I feel like I'm running around in circles, but I'm sure it's all fairly simple. If this is anything at all like ssh, all I had to do was uncomment 2 lines in a file to launch remote X apps. Thanks in advance for any help. -- DC Parris http://matheteuo.org/ http://chaddb.sourceforge.net/ "Free software is like God's love - you can share it with anyone anytime anywhere."
