Hi I need to set up SuSE 7.2 mail-server, that needs to: Get the e-mails for 4 user accounts from ISP, store them locally, and deliver the e-mails to local workstation (outlook in win-98) when user click on "receive". Some filtering might be a good idea... Accept sent e-mails from local win-box users, and resend them to ISP with that users name. I'm quite puzzled with the magnitude of different software. Could someone succest what software I should use to set this up? I don't need deep explanation, but I can't seem to select correct ones so that they work together. Do I need to set the user-accounts also in Linux, or can I "pass thru" e-mails for non-Linux users? How about copying all the traffic to a "monitoring" account in Linux? Jaska.

you need fetchmail and procmail and sendmail (or postfix,smail,qmail) fetchmail will pull the mail from the isp's pop/imap server and use procmail to put it in /var/spool/mail/username on your server. this is also where you would do filtering. you need a pop or imap server running from inetd on the linux server for the windows clients to use to check their email.
Accept sent e-mails from local win-box users, and resend them to ISP with that users name.
sendmail or postfix or qmail or smail will do this, with sendmail you can have the mail sent directly from the linux box and bypass the isp's mail server altogether (others will do that to) or you can set it up to be a smarthost and send the mail on to the isp's mail server for it to send out. the mail server (local, not isp) also needs to be setup to relay for your clients ip address range. if you are using sendmail, that is accomplished using the /etc/mail/access file
Do I need to set the user-accounts also in Linux, or can I "pass thru" e-mails for non-Linux users?
yes you will need user accounts on the linux box for everyone who is to recieve email but they dont necessarily need a valid shell to login - ie put /bin/false as their shell in /etc/passwd

Dont know about this one.

Do you have free (unpartitioned) space on your current disk? Or a a second disk to move to? Are you willing to shrink your /home partition to free some space? - Herman Thomas Beauchamp wrote:

Hi! I'd like to delete all the '*.eml' files kindly dropped by NIMDA on every folders of my Samba server. Would the following command (done as root) be OK: rm -rf /*.eml Many thanks Thomas
I don't think so. These will: find / -name "*.eml" -exec rm {} \; or find / -name "*.eml" | xargs rm HTH, Jeffrey Quoting Thomas Beauchamp <thomas@noproblem.net>:
