Not true. I'm running RedHat 7.3, mailman and postfix. In fact the mailman website recommends postfix over sendmail. (at least the last time I looked it did.) > > Checking I found that the postfix rpm that > > comes with RedHat doesn't provide /usr/bin/newaliases. > > I found a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com from last year, and there isn't an > > update for this bug, which is very easy to solve (just have to add the > > provide to the rpm). On my server /usr/bin/newaliases is a symlink to "/usr/bin/newalias" which is in turn a symlink to "/usr/bin/newaliases.postfix". You should be able to create the necessary symlinks manually. > Postfix isn't a redhat product, hence they don't always have the latest stuff > in their RPMS's.

Technically speaking, sendmail isn't a redhat "product" either, they just package it for their distribution. There's a postfix RPM on my 8.0 CDs so hopefully RedHat will continue to include it in their distribution. No argument that postfix has a limited share of the MTA market, but I think use of it is growing and after all Linux is about freedom of choice (among other things). > They don't have RPM's there. There are RPM's maintained by Simon J Mudd at http://www.pobox.com/~sjmudd and a search on www.rpmfind.net turns up other options.
