I've LSB-ized the fake_mta package (http://www.csi.hu/) so that it works with SuSE. It's basically just a dummy package that provides the 'smtp_daemon' capability. Take the following spec file and run 'rpm -bb' with it, then install the rpm it creates:

Hey, thank you for very much for the tip! It gave me an idea how to resolve problem with trying to apt-get gnome2 dev packages - the problem is that the pango package for SuSE 8.0 on SuSE repository is built with filesystem dependency. I just built another fake package (filesystem) and everything is installed :-)) Sincerely, Gour

A fake package so that foreign MTAs like sendmail will not be installed on my system (messing up my non-rpm MTA install). For example, a system upgrade will install sendmail if it thinks you do not have an MTA/smtpdaemon installed.

Hi, I had to run "newaliases" one time after I switched from sendmail to postfix on my SuSE 7.2 box. Maybe s.th. similar in 8.x? Regards, Jürgen

...

last nite I downloaded the patch for "sendmail" However, i have my copy of "sendmail" turned off, put I was planning to turn it on soon, when I saw Martin's post and wondered how many have switched to Wietse Venema's "postmix, which SuSE has a version for my 8.0 box, and probably for 8.1 too--- i tried to load "postfix" but it conflicts w/send mail -- so .....what to do??? comments, anyone.

--> In what way does it conflict with sendmail ? You can only run one MTA at a time. Though it should be ok to have both installed. So: "rpm -Uhv postfix..." should work

Then stop sendmail "rcsendmail stop" before starting postfix.

HTH, Armin

To run make in the directory /etc/mail should be enough. The Makefile there does include the rebuild of /etc/aliases.db. ;-) On Mittwoch, 5. März 2003 13:46, Kristian Köhntopp wrote:

I had to run "sendmail -bi" (which is newaliases) and I had to "cd /etc/mail; make" in order to get going again after the upgrade.
