Hi there,

I am lost while configuring GEAM on Suse Linux 7.1.
I installed as user ROOT and the installation completed succesfully. I am
using MS Outlook as E-Mail Client and a mail-server based on WinNT 4.0
Server (SP5). Now I tried to configure GEAM as mail-proxy in between the
NT-Server and the Outlook client. My first test was sending a mail from
Outlook to a local user and expected GEAM to encrypt it while sending to the
NT-Server, but I get a "Transaction Error" in Outlook and the GEAM-Log looks
sike this:

My config file looks like this:

---------------------------------
/etc/geam/geamd.conf:
port 8025
inner-host-name localhost
inner-host-port 9025
outer-host-name nt-server
outer-host-port 25
gpg-program /usr/bin/gpg
gpg-homedir .
debug 255

log-file ./geamd.log
-----------------------------------------------------------------

And here are my aliases, encrypt and decrypt files:

/etc/geam/aliases:  (taken from the tests folder in the installation folder
of GEAM)
joe@nsa.gov : yankee
nsa.gov :
bill@whitehouse.tmp : yankee
announce-list@foo.bar :
it-concepts-gmbh.de : zulu
foo.bar: DECRYPT


/etc/geam/encrypt:
yankee gpg 016C7F5C72E26B8DE642D49A5ADFD255F7B080AD
zulu gpg 2DCA5A1392DE06ED4FCB8C53EF9DC276A172C881


/etc/geam/decrypt:
yankee@localhost      gpg  5ADFD255F7B080AD
zulu@localhost	      gpg  EF9DC276A172C881



I am sorry to ask such details, but i am completly lost and the manual does
not say more than I tried.

Thanks in advance
Frank
