hi all, It looks as if I have a strange inconsistency in my system: "rpm -q postfix" says: "package postfix is not installed" "rpm -q sendmail" says: "sendmail-8.12.1102.10" but I DO have /etc/init.d/postfix (and it also REALLY starts postfix) and I also have /etc/init.d/sendmail (which starts the REAL sendmail, according to the contents of that file itself) but "man sendmail" talks about the "postfix to sendmail compatibility interface". Anyone has an idea what could be wrong here? Looks very unlogical to me, specially the output of the rpm -q commands... Regards! mourik jan jim barnes wrote:

hi all,
I want to disable postfix in my default runlevel (3), but my system (sles9, sp3) claims that scalix (mailserver software) depends on postfix, and will then be disabled as well.
I know that scalix does NOT depend on postfix (in fact: it needs sendmail) so, how can I bypass this check, and manually disable postfix on boot?
Yast, insserv and chkconfig all claim this dependency, and therefore don't work.
You might want to read man sendmail. sendmail is a command, installed by the postfix package, as well as a MTA. Do you have (package) sendmail installed?
