Hi.
Having done postfix files modifications by hand, I get this error if running SuSEconfig:
Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.postfix... *** WARNING *** Found /etc/postfix/main.cf.SuSEconfig, exiting... *** WARNING ***
How can I modify these files using Yast ?.
Even if you modified them SuSEconfig will bark on /etc/postfix/main.cf since when SuSEconfig is executed it creates a md5 file located at /var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5/etc/postfix/ so it can check if you have used SuSEconfig to create the file using /etc/sysconfig/postfix variables or simply by editing the /etc/postfix/main.cf. In the later case it will not change the /etc/postfix/main.cf and will bark since if you modified it directly then you knew what you were doing. So you need to delete the files in /var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5/etc/postfix/ and then start again YaST can help you to do the basic things for editing the /etc/sysconfig/postfix. On the other hand you can add directives to this file which can be used by SuSEconfig to achieve the same result for a better main.cf while maintaining the md5 file consistency. for example the below is what I have in /etc/sysconfig/postfix as an addition POSTFIX_ADD_MYNETWORKS=192.168.1.0/29 POSTFIX_ADD_MAIL_NAME="Postfix+Gardiyan-Patch " POSTFIX_ADD_SMTPD_BANNER="gardiyan ESMTP Postfix" POSTFIX_ADD_MYDESTINATION="" POSTFIX_ADD_CONTENT_FILTER="smtp:localhost:10025" POSTFIX_ADD is the prefix to be added then the rest comes from the part you want to modify from the main.cf -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
