Hi All,
I have a problem with yast re-enabling postfix on it's own. This is on a mail server that runs XMail which has it's own local mail delivery daemon. I have disabled postfix since it's redundant and it binds to the port that XMail needs. However sometimes when I make a change using yast it insists on starting postfix behind my back. Any ideas?
If you want to use XMail then the best would be to uninstall postfix. However then you would run into the problem of programs needing smtp_deamon (it is just the cosmetic thing I ould guess as the XMail will do the job) So the second thing to do is install a fake_smtp_daemon rpm. Hence progroms requiring the smtp_deamon will be satisfied and you will be able to use your XMail with no problem at all. You can use the attached spec file to build your fake_smtp.rpm just make sure that it does not conflict with Xmail if it was installed with rpm.
