Default MTA is postfix .
now if accidentally you set the Yast-mail server then definitely the
settings will be written in to the mail.cf file of postfix.
Check yours postfix settings with main.cf
if it contains lines to pull the mail using LDA (Local delivery Agent :
procmail ) then comment it first .
Then stop the procmail or fetchmail
#rcfetchmail stop
Again go to the Yast-MTA settings and stop the LDA settings else remove
and simply keep the postfix on then
else Change the postfix alias mail settings and keep alias for user root
only and remove the lines indicating yours Actual Email id .
i am using Thunderbrid for pulling my mails automatically so once above
settings are done you will be get rid of the /var/spool/<user> mail box.
LDA must be off . MTA doesnt matter. else local system messages will be
stop .
