Run webmin (you might need to be root first). You might be able to go here and login as rot: https://localhost:1/ Postfix is in the servers tab. If webmin doesn't come up, then you'll need to start it, and probably want it to run at bootup, anyway. You can use mcc (mandrake conmtrol center) for that. erid Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi John, On Sunday, November 23, 2003, at 5:07:15 PM PST, you wrote: > The odds are that if you're configured to use email in MDK you > already have Postfix installed. :-) :-) This brings me to another question or two... Where do I find it? I'm still struggling with the missing "K" menu items after "updating" my MDK, so I don't know how to get to many programs that were once very easy to find (most items in the former "Configuration" sub-menu, Emacs is now missing from the "Editors" sub-menu, and several other things I can't remember the names of at the moment). I wish I could even remember all the programs I saw in those original menu items, but I just can't offer a comprehensive or accurate list of them from memory, so I don't want to confuse matters even more by trying. I've tried the command for updating the menus (can't remember it offhand), but that didn't work for me. This menu mess is a real problem for me, because I just don't know all the commands necessary to open up any program I might have installed, and without the menus, I have no idea where to look for them. In fact, without an accurate menu listing of *all* the programs installed, how am I to know what I have installed and what's not installed? :-) Thanks. - -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iD8DBQE/wWFpjVbXUvsE8ukRAlBJAJ0S/mmBw1ODWF5WEJQKtMEb7oXZPwCeMZAt m2BA9iPfnUmrtghJ3cjX7oU= =D6Ix -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
