Hi! Unfortunately your damn postfix patch overwrote my old config and now seems not to work with rbl_maps and amavis. My clients nerved me the whole day and I'm allready confused! Any tips? Philippe

next time have a backup of /etc handy :) and if you change config files on your own, tell SuSEconfig about that. quoting /etc/sysconfig/mail: # # If you don't want to let SuSEconfig generate your # configuration file, set this to no # MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG="no" otherwise SuSEconfig will "regenerate" your mail config from the settings you made (or did not make) in /etc/sysconfig/postfix and some others. well, if you don't use YaST, because you don't like it, you have to tell it that you don't like it. In most cases it then is cooperative. Lars Ellenberg

Hi all ! I'm using SuSE 8.1 pro. Once you have a clean installation of SuSE Linux, you could also make a snapshot backup with YaST. Under YaST2 Control Center -> System -> Backup your system. This will save any configuration files that you have installed yourself, in a backup archive file, providing you tell it to of course. You will need to save your Backup archive file to a medium that will not be erased/reformatted when doing a fresh Linux installation. When you tell YaST to Restore your system, the Restore option in YaST will notice any changes that have been made. i.e. any packages that have been added or removed since the last system backup. You then have the option to selectively restore any packages that you want, or leave out ones you do not want included. I think you can selectively restore configuration files and files that do not belong to any packages also. I recently had to do a new installation of SuSE 8.1 pro. I reformatted /dev/hda9 for (/), /dev/hda10 for swap, and /dev/hd11 for /tmp. All my other partitions where left unformatted. My backup archive was on /dev/hda12. I did a new minimal installation from CD1, then used YaST to restore the system to it's original state at the time of the last system backup. All this took less than 2 hours from start to finish. All my config files were working, and in their original places. The only thing I lost AFAIK, was my mail inbox. Well done SuSE for such an excellent backup/restore facility! HTH, Regards Keith Roberts PS I also backup /etc & /home on a regular basis to another partition - just in case!

I HAD this set and the update DID overwrite main.cf !!! (But I was warned and had a very actual backup). And it killed /etc/aliases.db and /etc/aliases.d/mailman.db what caused postfix not to deliver mails.
