    Thanks for all the replies.

    I am using both pop and smtp. I can ping the servver and telnet into into
    port 25 (the response is rather slow) from other computers. I cannot however
    telnet into port 110 from any computers or the server itself, "Connection
    Refused".

    I have remote smtp connections enabled in Yast.

    I have also tried some of the recommended settings in main.cf with no
    success.

    The strange thing is that one message that I tried to send from a computer
    w/Outlook made it to the server, but the message ended up in the "deffered"
    folder (/var/spool/postfix/deferred/D) and the error log said something like
    "virus scan failed. No virus scanners available". I tried turning off the
    virus scanner in Yast, but no louck.
