Going from Postfix to Qmail

[Highland]

Apparently "yum update" pulls postfix in as well. This would be fine except for a small problem they're having with it and some DKIM sites (most notably Yahoo).

So how can I go back? Is it as simple as "yum remove postfix"?

You can run this from the command line to replace Postfix with Qmail:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component qmail

[Highland]

That did it. Thanks!

There is a bug in the way they mark up the "driver" packages in the RPM database. No matter what you're running (qmail, or postfix) the opposite will look like an update. What we ended up adding to the plesk.repo was this:

exclude=psa-mail-qc-driver*

if you're running postfix, that would exclude qmail as the upgrade. Removing that line and running "yum update" is all you'd need to do to convert from postfix to qmail, or vice versa.

[Kalimari]

exclude=psa-mail-qc-driver*

That's even better!
