Hi, I have just installed SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 8.1 and I found that the MTA (mail trasport agant) is postfix rather than sendmail, I would prefer to use sendmail as MTA rather than postfix. So how do I deinstall
postfix so I can install sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm which I have downloaded from SuSe site.
When I attempted to install sendmail I have these errors; # rpm -ivh sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: postfix conflicts with sendmail-8.12.6-159 sendmail conflicts with postfix-1.1.11-114
Also when I attempted to remove postfix I have these errors # rpm -ev postfix error: removing these packages would break dependencies: smtp_daemon is needed by fetchmail-5.9.13-49 smtp_daemon is needed by cron-3.0.1-649 smtp_daemon is needed by mailx-8.1.1-603 smtp_daemon is needed by mutt-1.4i-114 /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by lsb-1.2-42
rpm -e --nodeps postfix followed by rpm -i sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm didn't you get commercial support when you bought SLES?
