Sounds like you're confusing the MTA (sendmail/postfix) with the storage/pop3/imap tool, in this case, DBMail. DBMail works with both sendmail and postfix.
To make things even more confusing, there is a sendmail program that is installed with sendmail (the MTA). This is utilized by PHP to send mail out using the 'mail()' command. As sendmail (the MTA) has been around for years, Postfix comes with a compatibility program called sendmail that does the same thing. PHP works great with this. to wrap it up: Sendmail (the MTA) and Postfix (the MTA) both have programs called 'sendmail' that work with PHP. DBMail does not 'send' mail per-se (other than an occasional bounce message). This is not it's job, so it does not have such a thing. (it actually uses the same 'sendmail' that php does) Without some in-depth knowledge of the MTA's, you will not be able to install both sendmail (the MTA) and postfix (the MTA) on the same system as they both do the same thing, and will collide. Nor can I think of a good reason to install both at the moment. (there may be one..) Pick one MTA and use it. (I prefer Postfix, but this is a religious choice, a lot of people love Sendmail) I hope that helps. -Micah On Saturday 27 November 2004 01:36 pm, opel.kadett wrote: > Hi, hello > > ive been trying to install dbmail on suse today. > ive gotten it installed, seems among port 110 works ok, as can connect > and search for new mails(always empty of corse as cant send), but that is > it. > > i only want webmail use, with multidomains. so dont need any pop. > would like to use it with wedbmail or sqirrel mail or something similar. > > questions are: > sendmail works in php, sendmail is installed as it comes with suse, > dbmail needs something more? as only port 110 open(if start the pop > server). seen writeing on exim and Postfix, also found it in suse stro, > but yast says it colides with sendmail so havent installed it yet as > unsure what it will do to everything else that works now. > > In the INSTALL file in dbmail stro, it refers to "5.
