[BlueOnyx:07641] Re: Yum update breaks specific sendmail config

[Germano]

I tested it on both blueonyx and bluequartz and it works, it slows down the
email a little due to all the processing I guess.

The only downside which I kinda ignored was the fact that when there was an
error it would address it from the server’s name, 

rather then the domain name (I cant remember if sendmail without mailscanner
does the opposite and address it from domain rather then server name). 

In my case I give it away for free, so its not top priority I guess (and
lack of time), but if someone knows if it did/or is possible and how; I
would be most interested. 

 

Regards,

 

Germano

Oh sorry I just see that this procedure was tested on a BlueQuartz... So I
suppose that it work with the GUI, and it work too with a BlueOnyx.
OK I test that with Mailscanner instead of *-milter, and will wait for the
next sendmail update ;)

I'll try to think to report here if it's ok or not.

Thx

If done correctly it should not change the config I would have thought

 

I followed this: http://labs.erweb.it/pub/installing_spamassassin.php

 

It works for blueonyx also and I just substituted the packages for the
current ones..

 

it gave me mailscanner, spamassassin, clamav and so forth..

 

Sendmail updates as and when updates are pushed

 

the only downside to this is it does not give you a web interface to modify
like a package would to maintain it, so you have to do it from the command
every so often like freshclam, sa-update (though you can automate it
partially with a cronjob) ..

 

It’s fairly accurate and has never caused a problem

UP ? No idea ?
I was thinking, I know that someone like Solarspeed maintain a modified
version of sendmail with spamassassin and so on. Do they manage the update
problem only by having a newer version of sendmail in their repository,
disallowing the update from BlueOnyx-Base ?

In fact, isn't this strange ? Normally, yum knows when a configuration file
was modified, and at least ask before replacing it, no ?
Why not here ? Is there some options for bypassing this kind of feature ?

Hi guys,

I've manually modified my sendmail.mc (and sendmail.cf of course) to add
greylist, spamassassin and clamav (+milters) support. It worked fine until
last automatic yum update yesterday, which break it with a default
sendmail.mc. I had a backup of my .mc and could come back to my
modifications, but is there a way to tell to yum to update sendmail but keep
the config ??

Thanks
Frank
