hi Matt It may be that you run some software that pulls in a sendmail/sendmail clone that I do not? I use bsd-mailx to make cron happy and I never had any trouble doing an "apt delete exim4" (in my case) and everything just carrying on with James listening on port 25.
You could also remove the executable bit from exim4/sendmail to stop it competing with a James install for the smtp port(s). To be honest, I never ran James in production although I had it running nicely on a testing machine. If anything it seemed to me as newbie even more scary than exim4 and dovecot and it does conflict rather with the unix notion of doing *one* thing well. A mail exchanger on its own is already doing a ton of things, without combining it with your imap server! And either exim4 or dovecot alone are scary enough for me :-) I've built up a store of experience with those devils that I was loath to abandon, hence why I didn't stick with james. But anyway, it's good to be around people that persist in running their own mail exchangers; I'm astonished at the great mass of technical people that think it's too hard to bother with. Sure there's a lot of fiddling to be done to get everything working properly, but it is do-able and generally, once it's done it's done! -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-user-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-user-h...@james.apache.org
