    If all that functionality is combined into one server you should be aware
    that you have to be careful not to expose your internal net unvoluntarily to
    the internet.

    gpopper? Do you mean qpopper?

    So you can give the mail to postfix, and postfix sends the mail correctly to
    the internet.

    The DNS error needs to be solved before any other experiments. (^-^)

    > * I can neither send a mail from the client to the gateway

    Okay, no I am confused. Didn't you say that you could send a mail to postfix
    from the client?

    Mails don't vanish, at least not with postfix. (^-^)
    What does the command "mailq" tell about mails in the queue?

    Sorry, that information is not sufficient to solve your problems.
    Please post the output of:

    postconf -n
    grep -v '^#' /etc/postfix/master.cf
    cat /etc/postfix/transport

    cat /etc/xinetd/qpopper
    cat /etc/xinetd

    chkconfig --list| grep ":on"
    netstat -tulpen

    The local transport is responsible for delivering mails to your local mail
    storage. Either the transport postfix uses for that purpuse is not defined
    or not working.

    I suspect that either your pop server is not running or the configuration of
    your pop server does not match the configuration of postfix.

    pin is giving me the following information on qpopper:
    ./CD2/suse/src/qpopper-4.0.5-171.src.rpm: You have to agree to the license in
    ./CD2/suse/src/qpopper-4.0.5-171.src.rpm:

    ./CD2/suse/src/qpopper-4.0.5-171.src.rpm: qpopper.
    ./CD2/suse/src/qpopper-4.0.5-171.src.rpm:
    ./CD2/suse/src/qpopper-4.0.5-171.src.rpm: After installation you have to
    activate the server in the file
    ./CD2/suse/src/qpopper-4.0.5-171.src.rpm: /etc/inetd.conf or
    /etc/xinetd.d/qpopper.
