Yum update to plesk 9.2.3 - qmail switch to postfix

Unread post by blackstorm »

Hello,

we have enabled the atomicorp yum repository for plesk 9. Our MTA is qmail. After upgrade was the default MTA Postfix. We must switch back to qmail:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component qmail
Today we have installed the mysql 5.0.88 update - After update was the default MTA postfix again.
Why switch the MTA from qmail to postfix?

Kind Regards
Blackstorm

When you run yum update, which ever MTA is NOT enabled is seen as an upgrade... It has been mentioned on these forums a few times and there are various ways to disable/sidestep the MTA upgrade. I use this:

Code: Select all

yum update --exclude=psa-mail-pc-driver
There are other suggestions on this forum if you search

Unfortunately this is a bug with the way the psa-mail-pc-qmail/postfix rpms were written. They will always treat each other as an upgrade, which will rotate your MTA back and forth between postfix and qmail.
