Hi I want to setup a Mail Server in Suse. What are the steps to setup a mail server ? There will be 45 to 50 users. All will have 10 MB mailboxes to receive their mail through POP3 server and SMTP to send their mails. (This will be internal mailing)
Please reply Neelesh

What is your MTA i.e sendmail, postfix, qmail, courier, exim ...? Obviously, the package needs to be installed and configured to meet your objectives. Each of these have good documentation on their respective web sites. You will have to do some home work by reading the docs.
For the mbox's you will have to set up the users with useradd but without any login shell (e.g. /bin/false)
POP3 comes in a different package; in SuSE I think the RPM is called IMAP... It may require tcpwrapper configuration in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.
