[OpenIndiana-discuss] Help, please! Starting to use postfix in an OI151_a5 environment, from scratch

2012-07-16 Thread Hans J. Albertsson
I am in the process of starting up a mailserver for about a thousand mail users. This is on an OI151_a5 server. I will use postfix, dovecot and spamassassin, possibly clamav. I am right now doing a test setup, sort of a proof of concept. My problem is that all the documentation for dovecot

[OpenIndiana-discuss] /etc/resolv.conf is always empty after OS updates

After I updated to OI151_a5 (from .._a4), as always, /etc/resolv.conf turned up empty. I get the feeling this might have something to do with me using NWAM (I think...). Could this be so? What am I missing in nwam, or what should I do otherwise?? The installation is a straight default

Hans, You have the basics right. The problem is that there is no clean way to replace sendmail in OI yet. When you install postfix, it will overwrite /usr/lib/sendmail. I actually have two replacements for sendmail, I use Qmail for non-authorized access on port 25 because of it's superior

Will the SFE postfix package actually REPLACE sendmail?? In my system, using the SFEpostfix package, there's a /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix that's an executable, and /usr/sbin/sendmail which is a symlink to /usr/lib/sendmail. There's also a symlink /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix that points to

Hans, Unfortunately, many programs expect /usr/bin/sendmail to work. That means that you either have to keep sendmail running, or replace /usr/lib/sendmail with the sendmail.postfix version. If you do the latter, then any upgrade that includes sendmail will replace whatever you put in

If you don't specify DNS servers in your NWAM config, then yes, resolv.conf will blow away whenever nwam next reloads, I believe. I presume you have reason to believe you are? - Rich On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 8:20 AM, Hans J. Albertsson hans.j.alberts...@branneriet.se wrote: After I updated to

Now that I can respond more fully... What can I do to help troubleshoot or diagnose what is going on? The server involved has been pretty stable for quite a while. It is oi151a2. As it has been stable I haven't been updating it with each release. It is a semi production machine and so I tend
