Next message: Victor Duchovni: "Re: check against whitelist DNS"
Firstly I'd like to echo Thursday's flood of thanks to Wietse and the
other talented developers for stable 2.2 (not to speak of the ever-present
diehards on the list who are always willing to give advice). Replaced
2.1.5 stable (with SASL, TLS/IPv4 and OpenLDAP), and with minimal stress,
on my Red Hat RHAS3 IBM T23 Thinkpad test server. The new goodies have to
be tested, but it was more or less a straight drop-in.
Installed from source, as were all of my (many) previous Postfix
installations.
2.1.5 is running on RHAS3 at customer sites; now Translucent Systems in
Amsterdam is getting new customers and I'd like to integrate Postfix,
Courier IMAP et al into the Red Hat rpm regime. Red Hat RHAS4 has been
released, and new customers will get that, old customers will have to be
upgraded. Installing source is OK, but for production it both costs time
and can ensue in Red Hat up2date conflicts. Sam Varshavchik of Courier and
Jerry carter of samba produce their own rpm spec files, which ease
multiple installations greatly, but the Postfix developers have more
pressing things to do.
So: has anyone on the list produced RH, Mandrake, SuSE, whatever, rpm spec
files for Postfix 2.1 or 2.2 (SASL2, LDAP, TLS) and is willing to share
them? They'd have to be "intelligent" enough to know whether to do a fresh
install or a "make upgrade".
Renewed thanks, anyway :)
