Hello, please be more patient when waiting for answer. I had suse 9.0 in the past, and as far as I remember, it had postfix configured to send mails. You said "&" - does that mean in the background in terms of Unix ? Can you please shed some more light on what exactly you are trying to achieve, whether you are the administrator of this box (got root ?), are you sure that the selected ports for sending out (e.g. 25 || 587) are open at your network, etc. In the end, if the whole setup is done correctly, you should not have problems to send mail to Yahoo or any other destination.

Hi Sysgate,

I just need to send mails as a root user using "mail" command from my suse linux 9.0 Box to smtp server (Windows System) which will then forward to the correct address.

Example " # mail xyz@yahoo.com "

As per my knowledge there are two main configuration files in /etc/postfix folder;

main.cf
master.cf

Could you please help me out what setting needs to be done for sending the mails to smtp server.

Note : I have added the entry for my smtp server in /etc/hosts file.

Note : I have check the telnet connection using port 25 for the smtp server, it works fine.

Thanks & Regards,
jumadhiya.
