Open YaST > Network Services > Mail Transfer Agent. The first window is "General Settings" - select dialup. If you're only going to use this for internal mail, you won't need virus-scanning. The next window is "Outgoing Mail" - leave everything blank. Next is "Incoming Mail" - "accept remote smtp connections" should be unticked. Leave server, protocol, remote user name, password, local user, blank. If something is filled in, select "details" and you will see an account that you can delete. It should all be blank. Fill in the appropriate user for "forward root's mail to xxxxx" and select "procmail" for delivery mode. Check in "aliases" that the destination for root is your user. Finish.

I have 9.1 and have just done all that with no errors, so it should be OK.

Hi,

I did what you wrote (in General Settings i select a permanent) but still nothing. System messages don't work for me. Before did work and i use Pine in console but in 9.2 nothing.

Hi You sent this to me directly, so I've forwarded it to the list.. Is postfix running? What does it say in /var/log/mail? Is there anything in /var/spool/mail/root or /var/spool/mail/user? David -- "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance" -Sam Brown
