At this point of development, no, dovecot-postfix can't know what type of mail server user is setting up - is it a satelite system (with a relay host) or stand alone mail server, or some special type of mail server. We need user input on this, and postfix does a great job at that - it offers couple of predefined use cases. dovecot-postfix just integrates rest of the stuff (tls for all procotols, some postfix security features, etc...). This patch works around the problem when user doesn't choose any kind of predefined configurations (when user selects 'No configuration'). In that case, postfix package doesn't create main.cf file and dovecot-postfix can't set up rest of the postfix variables. So, instead of just exploding, with this patch, it offers the way out of the situation. -- fatal errors during install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
