BTW I would not recommend using that how-to for the following reasons.
1. clear text passwords
2. archaic/no user management
3. Uses Postfix 2.1 sql syntax which won't work in 2.2
4. Several technical shortcomings due to mailman integration.
I wonder why they still have that how-to up there. Hrm.
I think getting Gentoo updates updating is hard if you don't know Guide
XML and the original guy is gone.
I think that what would be quite useful is a "If you followed that
how-to, here's how to migrate to a new setup.." howto. ;)
Which SQL syntax won't work in 2.2? I had put off upgrading to 2.2
because of laziness, but if there are serious reason to not upgrade, I'm
interested in hearing them. I didn't find anything in the forums.
Syntax with postfix 2.1
user = postfix
password = postfix
hosts = localhost
dbname = postfix
table = alias
select_field = goto
where_field = address
Syntax with postfix 2.2.x:
user = postfix
password = postfix
hosts = localhost
dbname = postfix
query = SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='%s' AND active = 1
this page gives both forms, but doesn't exactly match the Gentoo how-to.
However you can use it as a guide to make your changes.
