Just a guess you set the postfix config in /etc/postfix/ directly for some stuff that is normally handled via /etc/sysconfig/postfix. 2 options 1. /etc/sysconfig/mail -> MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG="yes" set it to "no"

Thanks for replying, I already came across that config file as well

2. port the stuff you want changed to /etc/sysconfig/postfix

but wasn't really sure if or what I could put in there, for example I have set tls stuff and relayhost in my postfix file directly. There are a few apparently widely used settings in the suse sysconfig file for postfix, but I am not sure about the logic or if these suse special files are capable of taking all the settings that actually could go into the actual open source projects' config files directly?

Is there information about this sysconfig area and it's intention actually? Thanks again.

Yast2 Mail server module sets the values there and the config.postfix script converts them into your postfix config unless yout turn it off in /etc/sysconfig/mail. If you feel confident enough to keep maintaining your config without yast in the future, take that route. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
