Dear Debian-friends,
I am in the process of upgrading my Potato server from Potato to Woody.
Until now all seems to work fairly well. I followed the instructions
that have passed on the list (upgrading apt, perl and libc6 first).
Now I have come onto something I am a little afraid off:
apt-get install sendmail
I am not too much of a crack with sendmail and am very dependent upon
its functioning (mail for about 10 virtual domains). If I look at
sendmail.org, it seems that quite a few things have changed between the
releases in Potato and Woody. It would help me to get some conformation
that apt has handled this well with other users.
Also there is one more thing that puzzles me now. If I do
'sendmailconfig' on my current installation, I see the following
messages:
Generating /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ...
Informational: confUSERDB_SPEC source file not found: /etc/mail/users
/etc/mail/aliases: 79 aliases, longest 57 bytes, 2483 bytes total
Informational: 1 optional database(s) sources
were not found, please investigate.
/usr/share/sendmail/updatedb assumes that databases, and their source
datasets have the same base name (not counting the .db). If this is
not true, /usr/share/sendmail/updatedb can not rebuild your databases
to make sure they will work with the newer sendmail. You will have to
do this yourself - before starting sendmail.
And at the same time, sendmail works well. But the message suggests that
I need to do something before I should upgrade to a 'newer sendmail'.
If anyone has a suggestion here, I would be much obliged!
Thanks all - and thanks for a great distribution!
