After continuous upgrades of OpenBSD from 4.0 to 4.6, I always issued
the usual
/usr/local/sbin/postfix-enable
This time, it comes back with
can't find /etc/mailer.conf.postfix, postfix not enabled
Never had this before, and can't find any mailer.conf.postfix on the system.
Yes, I also googled, but there is not much of an indication what went wrong.
On another machine, running 4.5, there is also no such file.
The install message said:
--- postfix-2.5.6 -------------------
system(/bin/sh, -c, /usr/local/sbin/postfix stop) failed: exit(1)
--- postfix-2.6.2 -------------------
Note: the following files or directories still exist but are
no longer part of Postfix:
/etc/postfix/postfix-files /etc/postfix/postfix-script
/etc/postfix/post-install
+---------------
| The existing configuration files in /etc/postfix have been preserved.
| You may want to compare them to the current sample files,
| /usr/local/share/examples/postfix, and update your configuration as
needed.
+---------------
Postfix can be set up to replace sendmail entirely. Please read the
documentation at file:/usr/local/share/doc/postfix/html/index.html or
http://www.postfix.org/ carefully before you decide to do this!
To replace sendmail with postfix you have to install a new mailer.conf
using the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/postfix-enable
If you want to restore sendmail, this is done using the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/postfix-disable
It doesn't make me much wiser here. There is no mailer.conf.postfix in
/usr/local/share/examples/postfix
either.
Any hint appreciated,
Uwe
