I am fairly new to linux and suse but I am trying to set up 8.2 pro as a mail server. I have recieved all of the updates. and found this in the documentation to create forward listeners ssl -L 25:myserver:25 myserver ssl -L 110:myserver:110 myserver I had to shudown my pop3 server to get the 110 port to allow that and I started it back up. I get the following mesage in outlook from a pc internal to the network The connection to the server has failed.
