I'm having some difficulty with mail being rejected due to SPF/SRS issues. It looks like I need to reconfigure chkuser as described at http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Chkuser.

I have some concerns about this process.

Does it just update chkuser? The name of the package (qmail-toaster) suggests it will affect qmail also.

rpm -U suggests that the package will be upgraded. Is there a danger of the upgraded package not being compatible with the rest of the system?

I don't want to lose any of my current configuration. Do I need to back up config files before going through this process?

I would make a backup. I've never heard of anything going wrong, but I'm sure that if someone doesn't make a backup that's when Murphy will appear. The process on the wiki will update all packages with qmail-* in the filename - if you don't download the new packages, it will just use the ones currently on hand. This is because (if I remember correctly) some of the other packages need to be rebuild if modifying the chkuser patch. But I'll say it again - always backup. Make a copy of your current qmail RPM packages and save them somewhere safe as well.

For what it's worth-

I run my toasters in VMWare vm's. I went through this process last week. By way of backup, I created a snapshot before proceeding.

The process does not appear to have changed any of my settings other than what I changed in the chkuser_settings.h file.

I'll be removing the snapshots today as otherwise all seems well with the toasters.
