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?
$ rpm -q -provides postfix smtp_daemon postfix = 2.1.5-3
Make sure Xmail (whatever that may be, I thought it was just a CLI MUA) provides smtp_daemon in its init file.
Yes, it's an interesting all-in-one mail handler which replaces sendmail/postfix, fetchmail, and pop3 server daemons. It has it's own smtp engine so it doesn't need anything else. It's secure, well supported, reliable, and scales (at least) to the 20k message/hr range. Major flaws: mediocre documentation (I'm working on some but my time is all tapped out), and it doesn't handle IMAP. I understand that Debian includes it in their distro but there isn't a SuSE package. Here's the home page if anyone is interested: http://www.xmailserver.com/ Jeff Theo
