8.7 Network Services
This group contains tools to configure all kinds of services in the network. These include
name resolution, user authentication, and file services.
8.7.1 Mail Transfer Agent
You can configure your mail settings in Network Services > Mail Transfer Agent if you
send your e-mail with sendmail, postfix, or the SMTP server of your provider. You can
fetch mail via the fetchmail program, for which you can also enter the details of the
POP3 or IMAP server of your provider. Alternatively, use a mail program of your
choice, such as KMail or Evolution, to set your access data. In this case, you do not
need this module.
To configure your mail with YaST, specify the type of your connection to the Internet
in the first dialog. Choose one of the following options:
Permanent
Select this option if you have a dedicated line to the Internet. Your machine is online
permanently, so no dial-up is required. If your system is part of a local network
with a central e-mail server, select this option to ensure permanent access to your
e-mail messages.
Dial-Up
This item is relevant for users who have a computer at home, are not located in a
network, and occasionally connect to the Internet.
