I agree. The toaster is a life saver. Remember to restart qmail processes after installing spamdyke.
I think now that you have seen the tools, you should not be wary of updating more often. You can build a new toaster in the sandbox, and when it is ready it literally takes less than 5 minutes on my system to upgrade it, from shutting down (install script does that for you) to restart (install script does that too). My users have never noticed any downtimes. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Gardner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 9:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [qmailtoaster] Praise: excellent upgrade tools I just finished upgrading 3 toasters. I have QmailToaster-Plus installed. I hadn't updated these boxes for about 2 years. I was running an older version of ClamAV (0.95.2) which choked on a recent definitions update resulting in several hours of no incoming mail. I decided it was time to bite the bullet and get ClamAV updated. I was a bit apprehensive because I've never updated via the qtp scripts before, but it really was as easy as: yum update qmailtoaster-plus qtp-newmodel (reboot) qtp-install-spamdyke Now I'm up and running with the latest version of all packages including spamdyke, and I didn't have to tweak anything after the update. To all involved with QmailToaster and QmailToaster-Plus- Bravo. Really great job. The reboot was to clear up the locks on some ClamAv db files. Otherwise FreshClam wouldn't run.
