Sorry for the dumb questions.
I once tried postfix and I think I must have cocked it up
horribly.
It was the version from Mandrake 6.0 or 6.1 I think,
does the new version work better or did I schplum something
up when setting it all up?
What happened was, I noticed that pine and any other
e mail app would not be able to pick up e mail,
does the mail arrive in /var/spool/mail as in sendmail
or another folder and is it in the same plain text format?
Where might I have gibbled up the config for postfix,
as I would like to try it again and see if I can have a
little newer running system and make some improvements,
and what would be a safe way to migrate from sendmail
to postfix without losing any mails?
Many thanks for your patience.
