[opensuse] configure postfix
Hello, I just configured postfix on 13.1 with some minor problems, so the summary here I write down *my experience* here (warning: my use may not be yours, this works for me but I can' say it will work for you :-(): http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.Postfix-configure-2#sDoc.Postfix-conf... I do this for more than ten years now... so I know it works, but with sometime small changes. all the config is in /etc/postfix/main.cf usually, the openSUSE changes where grouped at the end of the file, so I could easily comment them out (my install never worked with them), and I could add the three lines I really needs, but the time the changes, shown by "postconf -n" are a page long and spread all over the file. the result is that all the mails I tried to send looped back to "myself" (as said by the logs) I couldn't figure out why, so I simply copied back the working main.cf file from my old 13.2 and suddenly all the stopped mails went to the destination. the "postconf -n" is much smaller than it was (see the bottom of the page linked). however there is still an error message. last time I had to change "inet_interface=localhost" to "inet_interface=All". today this option seems to be removed, postfix do not understand it anymore (but it don't seems to hurt). any comment welcome Nota: on this computer I have no mail user, only mailman, inn and apache jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

yes, but why do I get an error message (warning in fact)? "postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: inet_interface=All" is this only because this parameter is not necessary? Last config was on a virtual machine, there I had to use it, may be because it was virtual?? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

"postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: inet_interface=All"
I think it is perhaps because of the missing 's' ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
