Hi All,
I have a problem with yast re-enabling postfix on it's own. This is on a mail server that runs XMail which has it's own local mail delivery daemon. I have disabled postfix since it's redundant and it binds to the port that XMail needs. However sometimes when I make a change using yast it insists on starting postfix behind my back. Any ideas?
$ rpm -q -provides postfix smtp_daemon postfix = 2.1.5-3
Make sure Xmail (whatever that may be, I thought it was just a CLI MUA) provides smtp_daemon in its init file.
Yes, it's an interesting all-in-one mail handler which replaces sendmail/postfix, fetchmail, and pop3 server daemons. It has it's own [..]
Not my kind of strong Brownian motion producer. I happen to believe in seperate apps all doing their own thing, and within their own (security) context, very well. You only have to look at Exchange to see what can go wrong when a MTA is mated with an agenda, MDA, contact database, authentication database, spell checker, game server, coffee machine and $YOUR_DEITY known what else.
