Started looking for a new distro once RedHat stopped giving it away and I'm glad they did because SuSE 9 is the best I have seen BY FAR. Anyway, I'm looking to setup TLS based encryption for postfix and the version that is installed by default with my SuSE 9 box (Postfix v2.0-14) doesn't seem to have the TLS functionality compiled in (I tested simply by telnetting to port 25 on my box and issuing an EHLO command and I don't see STARTTLS in the reply).
Anyway, I don't want to mess up the default configuration and am wondering if I just get the source for the same version of Postfix as well as the related TLS patch and recompile, can I just copy the new Postfix binary to /usr/sbin/postfix, issue a postfix reload and then configure the TLS options and certificates as needed or will this not work? If not, any other suggestions? Thanks.
Recompiling postfix? For what? SuSE 9 does have postfix compiled with TLS support. Edit /etc/sysconfig/postfix and set: POSTFIX_SMTP_TLS_SERVER=yes Scroll down to the POSTFIX_SSL_* section and change the info you want on your SSL cert. When you are done making those changes to /etc/sysconfig/postfix, save it, then type: SuSEconfig --module postfix then do: rcpostfix restart And you now have TLS support which you can verify by telnet'ing to your server again.
