Hi
Since you have reached one conclusion, i would like to point out, that until the day comes, when you are comfortable with editing a config file to alter a behavior of a service, you will be doing exactly what you have just done, started switching distros ... until somthing had what you wanted working.
snipped a lot ...
Spend more time learning how to configure by editing files, and you could be well off. I am quite sure you need not have hanged distro to get your mail server going, maybe replaceing the gui with a new one could have helped, or, reading some documentation on the subject, google for maybe that distro of suse may have had trouble with the mail server setup, and then applying necessery fix for that one. But that is more to the effect of boxed thinking, you do not need the gui, it is surely nice to have, but not essential to achiving the goal.
Sorry for the xxl post
But hey, its a briliant Saturday here Cheers

Szemir, don't apologize for the long post. I've found your explanations very illuminating and inspiring, as I'm sure many other "lurkers" have. The ideas you put forth will be kept in the back of my mind in my future attempts at learning linux. I know I'll be more inclined to attack the config files as I learn about them.
