I reinstalled OpenSuSE because my hard drive filled up and i couldn’t find what was taking up 30 GB of disk space. My SMTP and IMAP were working fine.
Now, I can’t telnet into smtp remotely and they no longer respond to my mail program. Any help is welcome.
One last detail, I can send out mail to example, gmail.
I can receive the mail at gmail but i can’t send mail back because the imap and pop3 don’t work.
I am new to SuSE, not linux.

Do you mean on your system? (ie, inbound to the system you reinstalled)
If you do, check the firewall configuration. By default, all ports are
closed.

Oh ok, How can i check the firewall?
I just checked by shutting down the firewall and the ports must be closed because it worked.
How do i open the ports?

Run YaST and select the firewall module - the interface should be pretty
self-explanatory.
