I highly reccomend you set up Qmail, it is a bear to set up but once you got
it configured and running under tcpserver it is lightning fast and loads
more secure than sendmail. My favorite combination is Qmail as MTA and
Vpopmail as the POP3 server. There are some nice web-based admin tools
available as well. go to www.inter7.com for all kinds of Qmail goodies.

Subject: Configuring sendmail on SuSE Linux 7.1


Hello,

I am kind of new to linux. Though I have been using Linux on my laptop for
some time for developing Java Applications, I never had a chance to
configure a mailserver on Linux box.

I want to set up a mail server at home. My understanding is to configure
sendmail first and second install POP3 server like qpopper.

When I try to set up sendmail on SuSE Linux 7.1, the SuSE handbook says to
update rc.config for the following variables
SENDMAIL_TYPE, SENDMAIL_HOST, SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST........, which I don't
see'em in rc.config.

Does anybody know of any on-line step-by-step instruction on configuring
sendmail on SuSE7.1 with YaST1 or any other good source you think that I can
benefit from.I did download sendmail. But, instruction that came with it
were dispersed and daunting.

Note: Is there any other product easier than this, commercially or
non-commercially?

Cheers..!
Sundar
