YaST — Configuration
You can also use a mail program of your choice, such as KMail or Evolu-
tion, to set your POP and SMTP access data as usual (to receive mail with
POP3 and send mail with SMTP). In this case, you do not need this mod-
ule.
Connection Type
To configure your mail with YaST, specify the desired type of connection to
the Internet in the first dialog of the e-mail configuration module. 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.
No connection If you do not have access to the Internet and are not lo-
cated in a network, you cannot send or receive e-mail.
Furthermore, you can activate virus scanning for your incoming and outgo-
ing e-mail with AMaViS by activating the respective check box. The pack-
age is installed automatically as soon as you activate the mail filtering fea-
ture. In the following dialogs, specify the outgoing mail server (usually the
SMTP server of your provider) and the parameters for incoming mail. If
you use a dial-up connection, specify diverse POP or IMAP servers for mail
reception by various users. By means of this dialog, you can also assign
aliases, use masquerading, or set up virtual domains. Click ‘Finish’ to exit
the mail configuration.
