Need help configuring a knoppix mail server
I am interested in setting up knoppix so that it can receive email from a remote windows or linux client.
Using knoppix 4.0.2 I start the mail server (/etc/init.d/smail start). I can then use mutt to send an email from that host to another host sucessfully. however, if i use a remote client and thunderbird using knoppix as the account, and the IP address as the send / receive server, I am unable to attach.
Am trying to use this to send and receive network notifications, and just want to build a quick and dirty prototype to see if my scripts will do what I need.
Any help greatly appreciated.
regards,

Cannot help you with smail, but here is how to test working with SMTP. The lines
prefixed by "#" have to be typed at the command prompt, the others are replies
from the server
#telnet localhost 25
220 localhost ESMTP
#helo localhost
250 yourserver.yourdomain
#mail from: <knoppix@localhost>
250 OK
#rcpt to: <knoppix@localhost>
250 OK
#data
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
#Hello Knoppix!
#.
250 Ok: queued as 8E3DB230D9
#quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
(Of course, you *don't* type the "#")
Does this work?
Is there a difference when you try this from another computer? (substitute the
IPaddress of your knoppix box for localhost in the telnet command)

Thanks for the quick response back! I'll add that to my bag of tricks.
Actually, my workaround is that I am just using fetchmail / sendmail to retrieve the data from my corporate email server. MUCH easier than actually setting up email services (MX records, etc) (especially if I have to rebuild the server).
