SuSE's default installation is with
postfix. However you can use
sendmail
instead. Qmail does not come with SuSE as the
license restricts SuSE. Having said you can install Qmail if you want yet
you have to do all the hard work in that case.
There are two configurations that are taken into consideration:
- 1. How can I stop SuSEconfig from recreating my mail setup ?
- 2. Why does sendmail/postfix not accept mails from the network ?
| 1. | How can I stop SuSEconfig from recreating my mail setup ?
|
| Every time SuSEconfig is run it checks the variables. So having
MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG="no" in
/etc/sysconfig/mail will prevent
SuSEconfig from overwriting your
main.cf (even though it is documented as not
overwriting sendmail.cf). That variable is checked
in SuSEconfig.postfix as well.

| 2. | Why does sendmail/postfix not accept mails from the network ?
|
| using ->-> edit /etc/sysconfig/mail as follows:
#
# Set this to "yes" if mails from remote should be accepted
# this is necessary for any mail server.
# If set to "no" or empty, then only mails from localhost
# are accepted.
#
SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE="yes"
