Would some kind individual please hand-hold me thru configuring it?

tks,

If your using Thunderbird all you need to do is enter YOUR information and T-Bird configures itself. No hassles.

Sorry, I am not providing enough information.

I don't think you can use Yast to configure a postfix server that uses ssl on outbound traffic. I assume you need port 587 for that kind of traffic, which means you have to specify: relayhost = [outbound.att.net]:587 For this to work you also have to have: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_tls_CApath = /etc/ssl/certs You need the file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd which contains: [outbound.att.net]:587 <account>:<password> <account> most likely is your email address You need to use the command "postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd" to generate: /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db Obviously these two files should not be world readable. I am not sure if you also need: smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/lib/postfix/smtp_tls_session_cache and removing the # in front of tlsmgr in /etc/postfix/master.cf -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's because you are using the advanced or extended or similar name of yast mail module. Don't. Use the simple mode. The other one includes ldap, which is a complication I assume you do not need, unless you are going to create dozens of accounts.

Tks, but no. It asks for ldap when I designated ssl which att.net says it requires....

After so many years, I still know nothing about ldap... O:-)

I have never found the need for it either. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you guys had multiple systems, multiple users and a central user database, you might want to look at LDAP :-) For instance, LDAP is commonly used to access Microsoft's Active Directory.

On SLES, LDAP was used to integrate everything, permissions, mail, SAMBA access, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous I've forgotten. It was pretty sweet. I briefly contemplated setting it up on a non SLES server, but it was a bit daunting. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, but that's when using the advanced mode of the yast module. Don't. Just set up a plain mail system, then add ssl things to the postfix config manually. There is a documentation directory for postfix with all the details if needed. If you use yast to set up ssl, the module wants to include ldap. I don't know how to tell yast to not do that, or if it is possible to go ahead and then easily disable it afterwards. Or how exactly to setup ldap, because the documentation is not made for dummies (and I consider myself a dummy re ldap). Saying enter domain in domain input box doesn't help at all. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
