Hi Erich, Thank you for your input. But I am still not clear with using config.xml and smart_install for the "mta-config" package because we can not just simply install postfix whether or not any MTA (postfix, sendmail, or exim) is already installed on head node.
Does smart_install take care of these cases? If any MTA(postfix, exim, or sendmail) is already installed on the head node, do NOT install postfix even though it is specified to do so on config.xml. If only there is no MTA installed, install postfix as specified on config.xml We need mta-config to take into account of the above cases.
