Hi all,
I’m new to Suse (and Linux) but learning fast 
Question:
I want to forward emails sent to my domain (ex: john.doe@mywebserver.com -> john.doe@gmail.com)
Ofcourse, the ‘mywebserver’ is my linux box.
Can somebody give me a hint what to use and where to start?
PS:
My apache etc. are up and running… So my server etc. = online

Do you have an email server set up?

Nope, but that is where I need some help with… “From scratch” so to say. A few hints on how and what would be great. It’s hard to find a tutorial explaining this particular starting point…
First thing to explain ALLWAYS is what level of openSUSE you are using.

Well, first step is making DNS have an MX entry pointing to you. Then setup
postfix. Use YaST.
You have documentation in the postfix site. You can also search the howtos
on the LDP site, there is a mail admin howto.
This is not easy.

is this ‘linux box’ sitting on your desk, or is it at a hosting site?
and, if so, doesn’t the hosting company offer you GUI access to mail
setup as well as help on how to do it?? *
or, if it is a hosting company do you have root access via the command
line to the mail server there?

Hi all… sorry for ‘not mentioning things’
I’m using opensuse 11.4 and I have my own server…
Ok, first of all.
Thanks for the help.
I managed to setup and forward emails! With postfix and mysql.
This site was the most helpful: Postfix Tutorial
It uses: Postfix, Courier(POP), SASL and MySQL
But I’m still having this small problem. My email is from: nobody <nobody@[mydomain].localdomain>
Where do I change this (with PHP I can change it, but I also want a standard version…)
Thanks again…

Excessive for your needs, or what you said of them, postfix alone was enough.

Dificult to say without knowing what you have done. I think using using the
“virtual” table would be enough.
