Hi Mark, provided that you have Postfix installed and depending on whether you know what you are doing you can: a) the easiest way: use YaST to configure Postfix, b) edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and set the proper values. After a) or b), you can start Postfix issuing /etc/init.d/postfix start as root. HTH, Martin

Hi Mark,
provided that you have Postfix installed and depending on whether you know what you are doing you can: a) the easiest way: use YaST to configure Postfix, b) edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and set the proper values. After a) or b), you can start Postfix issuing /etc/init.d/postfix start as root.
Better way of doing option B is editing /etc/sysconfig/postfix and adding the things you need rather then editing /etc/postfix/main.cf For example having this in /etc/sysconfig/postfix and then running suseconfig --module postfix will edit the /etc/postfix/main.cf while using the SuSEconfig as it is designed POSTFIX_ADD_CONTENT_FILTER="smtp:localhost:10025" -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net Please don't CC me.
Hi, I'm using suse 9. I'm also using webmin. The problem is that I can't reach the smtp server from outside. Also, when I send mails to root I get error mails that the mail couldn't be sent in my emailbox (emailbox = a POP box at the web). mark Togan Muftuoglu wrote:

Sorry to barge in on this discussion, but I'm having the same problem. I have postfix runing and amy trying to send/receive mail to/from outside IP addresses without using my ISP's email servers. I can send mail out, but cannot seem to recieve. I don't have a domain registerd yet, but trying to send mail to me@ipaddress. I have SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE=yes Also have POSTFIX_MDA=local My firewall (not Suse but a nat router) set for port 25 open, able to ping from wan. I'm using Kmail as my mua. Network/incoming account type/local to/var/mail/me. Should this be set up as a Maildir account?? Any other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. This has been driving me nuts! Thanks in advance.

From the outside, try to telnet to port 25; you should get something like this:
|cer@nimrodel:~> telnet localhost 25 |Trying ::1... |telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused |Trying 127.0.0.1... |Connected to localhost. |Escape character is '^]'. |220 nimrodel.valinor ESMTP Postfix |QUIT |221 Bye |Connection closed by foreign host. |cer@nimrodel:~> If you sauced, then you might need a domain name, with an MX field - ie, when you use "host -t MX host.domain" you must get an answer. Mailers use type MX queries. If you can not telnet in to port 25, then your ISP is blocking it. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Hi Folks, I've a SuSE Professional LAN (192.168.1.x) connected with a windows machines [the Windows machines have a Workgroup: Site_1) ... at remote location (connected using Frame Relay) I have another bunch of Windows machines connected using another Workgroup (Site_2) and other LAN (192.168.2.x). I defined my routes so I can 'ping' the machines at Site_2 from Site_1, also the machines from Site_2 can ssh/access the application on Linux. Almost everything works fine ... but now the customer wants to use the printer's attached to machines on WG Site_2 from a Windows machine located on Site_1. SaMBa is working as file & printer sharing ... I thought I can reach the SMB shares of Site_2 Lan just editing LMHOSTS and re-starting SaMBa. But, I can't access / read the machines at other Workgroup (Site_2) from Linux. I tryied: nmbstatus but this command just scans the local lan (Site_1) I tryied too: nmbstatus --allworkgroups and nmbstatus --workgroup Site_2 I wrote down the Site_2's machine node_1 in /etc/smb/lmhost, and tryied (after re-starting nmb and smb deamons): smbclient -L node_1 -N But still I can't print on a printer attached to a Windows machine on remote lan ... Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Jean H//

This is not a fault of linux or the windows machines. You need to turn on bridging on the routers if you want to pass netbios traffic. Either that or putting them all in the same workgroup might help. I have the same setup here, Cisco routers and Frame/Relay but all of our wan connections are in the same workgroup and we can at least reach the remote machines using \\168.192.x.x\share.

James, I believe if you check your settings in Mozilla mail, you will find it can be set to reply to the list, if a mail list is specified. Secondly, what does mail replies have to do with SMB shares in other LANs? Please start a new mail/thread, if you are going to change the thread and/or body of the message. I also point this to any others that feel the need to change things in mid-stream, since Kenneth felt it necessary to start it. I also know this has been beat to death, but the top posting is getting old. Mozilla allows bottom replies, so I have to blame the user for not taking advantage of it. Simple things make the list much easier & better to use, it's not brain surgery folks, at least give the impression you are trying.

Perhaps in a later version. It doesn't appear to be an option in 1.3.

Mozilla 1.2.1 (the version of SuSE 8.2) does not even allow a folder to be specified as belonging to a list - the only property you can define for a folder is the "default character codding". The only options in the "Message" menu are: New, Reply, reply to all, forward, forward as, edit as new - and this has being so for years (counting Netscape as its predecessor). If you know of a version of Mozilla that behaves otherwise, please specify which one you know for certain to have that feature, and exactly how you enable it. I am very interested. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
