On this page I read about configure Postfix for SMTP-AUTH and TLS. I entered the commands as shown on this page: Code: postconf -e 'mydomain = example.com' postconf -e 'myhostname = server1.$mydomain' (ok, I changed server1 and mydomain to other names for my system). After the last command (postconf -e 'myhostname = server1.$mydomain') I see a ">" prompt. What do I have to enter here?
You probably did not enter the last single quote. The > sign is a shell continuation sign, so it expects more input. Usually this is because quoting is not terminated.
On another page I read that I have to enter this commands into /etc/postfix/main.cf, so I did. After completing main.cf and editing /etc/postfix/master.cf and restarting postfix replies an error message on line 693: missing '=' after attribute name: "postconf -e 'mydomain = vanharten.net'" Who can tell me what is wrong in this line? This line contains a "=", isn't it?
Check the line(s) before the one with an error. Computers process straighforward, which us humans don't do all the time That makes us ..... well, humans
I don't know what to search in the text above where the system calls an error. The file was the original which I installed during setup SuSE. I only added the lines given on the website mentioned in the first posting of this topic.
Just a guess: did you put Code: postconf -e 'mydomain = vanharten.net' into your main.cf instead of just Code: mydomain = vanharten.net ? postconf is a command that helps you edit your main.cf, but it must not be in main.cf.
Yes, I did, but at this moment the problem is solved. I already read that I have to add these lines without "postconf -e '". The system is working now...
