Hello people, I'm about to replace sendmail with qmail on my box. I intend to use the packages from SuSE to do so. Are there any special considerations I should have in mind before I go ahead? Regards, Carlos Monti.
Well for one thing, when I tried to replace sendmail with postfix, I could never get yast2 to stop complaining about 'cron' depending on sendmail. Was a bit of a pita. a little insight. HTH On Sun, 2002-09-01 at 06:22, Carlos wrote:

DId you replace sendmail with the Postfix package from SuSE or a home-compiled one? -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

Agreed - same thing happened when I removed sendmail and installed qmail instead. Everytime you try to add/install packages it will say that the dependencies fail and you need to install sendmail/(other MUA I can't remember). An idea (I have not tried this): you could get around this by building your own Sendmail RPM from the SRPMs which contains 0 files. Then you won't get that annoying message everytime you try to add a new program. Personally, I don't install enough new software on a working system via YaST to warrant bothering. Later, Jon
