Procmail is not an MTA. It does not speak SMTP inbound or outbound. It is merely a "delivery agent", which takes the mail once sendmail (or another MTA) gets it in from the grid and handles stuffing it in a box.

I'm quite familiar with the setup you're going to -- essentially you use procmail to replace sendmail's mail.local.

Postfix, is a different animal.


Hi,

I've got an established mailman installation on RHEL 3 and I'm planning to change that system's MTA from sendmail to procmail. Does anyone know of any gotchas or other things I need to look out for? I'm assuming that in a non-virtual-domain setup like this it should be fairly simple: make sure I've got backups of /etc/aliases and then uses Redhat's nifty little redhat-switch-mail program to change to postfix....

Anyone have scars from a similiar assumption?

:-)
