have just upgraded my XMail server for the first time, and found some strange things during the process. Is there any one out there that have a best practice about how to upgrade XMail on Linux (RH 7.2)?
Anyway, What I did was to stop XMail, renamed /var/MailRoot -> /var/Mailroot.1.6 (Yes I skipped 1.7) Installed 1.8 from the prebuilt RPM (had to do it with the --force option), I copied the .tab files from /var/MailRoot.1.6 to /var/MailRoot.1.8 (A small change in server.tab was kept from the 1.8 server.tab) I also copied the domains and spool directories (after having removed the existing ones). XMail then started without any problems and I was able to send outgoing mail, but incomming mail did not work. Testing resulted in an "failure delviery" with the following information ---snip--- Unable to deliver message to the following address(es). <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 217.215.11.128 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 Relay denied Giving up on 217.215.11.128. ---snip--- It wasn't until I deleted another (testing)domain and enabled it again, the incomming mail started to work. It works fine now. Any ideas why this happend, and any ideas on how to upgrade the next time. Hans Birgander Btw. Thanx for an outstanding dedication to the program Davide. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
