Yast changes to MTA do not stick

Yast changes to MTA do not stick
Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:46:02 GMT
Hi and thanx for helping.

I am attempting to configure the Mail Transfer Agent for Suse 10.3
64bit.  However, any changes I make to Mail Transfer Agent via Yast do
not stick.  When I exit Yast and relaunch, the values I populated on
previous run, are cleared.  Also, on Suse 10.2, after configuring MTA,
I would be prompted for "Incoming Mail" parameters.  However, with
Suse
10.3, after configuring "Outgoing Mail" parameters, I get returned to
previous dialog box.

I have tailed /var/log/messages but nothing is shown when I do this.

Here's the uname -a output in case this helps troubleshoot.

2.6.22.5-31-default #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux

thanx again.

I finally figured it out.  Here's the solution in case anyone else runs
into the problem.  I was able to get more error message via yast2 (I
was using yast.)  The output led me to this page...

'[Bug 343590] New: yast2 users list -- fails with 'Can't locate
Net/IMAP.'
(http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2007-11/msg06671.html)

Which in turn led me to install perl-NetxAP

All is good now.
