[BlueOnyx:27071] Re: /etc/alternatives/mta -> (sendmail|postfix)

[Tomohiro Hosaka]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

It is good to know that BlueOnyx has a policy of /etc/alternatives/mta
set to Sendmail.

I have done set mta to Postfix on 5210R and everything is working fine
except for the lack of /usr/sbin/makemap as I mentioned in my previous
email.

When sendmail is called from system or php, the queues and logs are a
mixture of sendmail and postfix ones.
I would like to use mta set to Postfix as is until a problem occurs.

I followed and read from /usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service.
It didn't seem to conflict with "mta set to Postfix" in particular.

Thanks

The way our Postfix integration works is that the Systemd Unit-File for Postfix parses the Sendmail configurations on the fly whenever Postfix is (re)started. And generates Postfix a configuration based on the Sendmail configuration.
