[IMGate] Re: transport.map auto updated.

[Ed Lucero]

Yes. That should work. I check every 15 minutes and see if my map has
changed. If it has then I save a copy and update the map.

When a map gets updated it puts an exclusive lock on the table and causes
all mail processing for processes requiring access to that table to stop
until the lock is released. I'm not sure if it stops and restarts the smtpd
processes.

 Subject: [IMGate] transport.map auto updated.
 
 Hello All,
 
 I updated a script that was running hourly to update the relay
 recipients to also update the transport.map database and it caused some
 issues.  Can this file usually be updated while postfix is actually
 running?
 
 The issue was, that after the time the new db was created, all messages
 were rejected with a Relay Access Denied reason.  Seems some hours would
 work, others would not.  I need to update this on a fairly regular basis
 and was trying to automate it so that I did not have to do it manually.
 So I upload a list of domains with the smtp:[ip.add.goes.here] at the
 end of each.  Then uploaded to the IMGate server.  From there I ran the
 postmap on the new transport.map file. =20
 
 Shouldn't that work?  I know Len, you did not want me doing this, but I
 have enough manual things to do...
 
 Thanks,
 Grant Griffith

I am new to the *nix side of scripting.  How can you check to see if the
file changed or not?  Is it by timestamp or some type of comparison?
