I by accident let webmin install sendmail ...?

[comedit]

I was checking something though webmin about sendmail and it gave me a link so i could in stall sendmail. I wanted to have a look but without a warning it installed sendmail and:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
postfix postfix-tls
The following NEW packages will be installed:
rmail sendmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 2053kB of archives.

etc......

Two questions:

• did I f...ck up ?

• If so what should I do ?

Thanks in advance for your quick reply

Just go to the Postfix section of the appropriate "Perfect Setup" on HowtoForge and install and configure Postfix again.

Falko,

Thanks I have "puttied" my way through the perfect setup again (great that you have made this) but encountered a small problem:

The etc/postfix/main.cf varies form the perfect setup on the following points:

#mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost.localdomain, , localhost

This may sound stupid (and it is) but I am not sure anymore what domain I set up when installing) Can you tel me what file to look at so I can alter the the main.cf file of postfix to my domain http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/ima...s/rolleyes.gif



mailbox_command =

Can I replace this with ?:

procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

At the end of the file it says :

home_mailbox = Maildir/

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names

Can I leave that in there?

You can leave that line as it is because the ISPConfig installer should have put the line

mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names

into it as a replacement.

Yes, but I'd leave it as it is for now.

If you use Maildir, then yes. Otherwise no.

Thanks Falko:

/etc/postfix/ssl# /etc/init.d/saslauthd start

Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: (failed).

It doesn't want to start ?
