Can Postfix be setup as a POP3 server. I didn't see anything on their website that plainly said that. I am POPing email from my companies ISP using Fetchmail and would like for users using Outlook to be able to POP their mail from that server.
Postfix is an email server (MTA). There is a separate package for pop3 services.

no, a pop3 server has nearly nothing to do with postfix, except the mail, postfix delivers. There are several pop3 / imap server on your SuSE media. Have a look. (to give examples: imap, courier-imap, cyrus-imapd, qpopper (only pop3),...) For me, I like courier best, but you decide. Markus

No, a separate package for your system just as mozilla is a separate package. Search your install media. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
