Now it works :o) Also thanks to James, Lew, Carlos and André for your willingness to help. The solution is not exactly as Sandy outlined, but extremely close though. To others having this problem: Forget about YaST2's MTA module in OpenSUSE 10.2. It will not accept square brackets followed by a colon and some digits. Solution: First make absolutely sure you have the correct outgoing server (DOH!) Then YaST2 -> System -> Edit /etc/sysconfig -> Network -> Mail -> Postfix -> POSTFIX_RELAYHOST=[mail.example.com]:587 (Square brackets, colon and port number as shown) Then edit the first line of /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd to read [mail.example.com]:587 user:password Where user:password is the username and password the server requires to authenticate you for sending mail. If you do a postconf -n after this, everything will show as Sandy said, except smtp_sasl_security_options will equal nothing. But that's all right, because it still works. I messed about a bit because I had the wrong outgoing server, so if it doesn't work for you at this point, try running SuSEconfig -module postfix. If that doesn't work restart postfix with /etc/init.d/postfix restart Thanks Sandy :o) Best regards :o) Johnny :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
