ok, i tried setting up the mta using yast. This did not work quite as well as i'd liked.
I've now manually edited the main.cf file as you suggested Sandy. I had to create the file '/etc/postfix/smtp_relayhost_auth' as it was not there, and entered the server and username/passwd for my isp.
i restarted postfix as you advised. It seems i'm getting mail ok but can't send now.

No idea why you've got this parameter set, but it will defer all smtp deliveries, exactly as the name of the parameter indicates!
disable_dns_lookups = yes
This is another nice effort to shoot yourself. If you disable dns lookups then don't expect Postfix to find out what ip address mail.btinternet.com might be. Remove both parameters and requeue the mails: postconf -e "defer_transports = " postconf -e "disable_dns_lookups = " postfix reload postsuper -r ALL postfix flush Then check if the mails are being delivered or if some other errors pop up.

Better: relayhost = [mail.btinternet.com] The square brackets disable the mx lookup in case some clever admin has configured an mx for whatever reason.
