Hi everyone, As I'm planning on upgrading my server(debian/sarge), I thought it would be a good idea to learn more about postfix incase I get any question about it during my upgrade. After doing a lot of reading and some video training, I checked out my ISPconfig's servers configuration. Unfortunatly I could not figure out how it was configured. Yes, there is an excelent "perfect debian setup" that shows how to set it up, but when I look at the directory's I found all sorts of configurations. Maildir, and in /var/spool/mail there are all the files that hold the mail The "perfect debian setup" also speaks about ispconfig's installation doing the work with procmail. As you can see I'm no expert Is there a thread on this forum or some article to read that I missed that explains this? Any help would be appreaciated, thaks in advance. Rgds Edo
The main Postfix configuration is in /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf. In the users' homedirs there's a .forward file which makes each mail go to procmail (this happens after Postfix has processed the mails). The procmail recipes are located in each user's homedir as well.
thanks! Oke thanks for the explanation. That makes things a lot clearer. Just one question though. I'm planning on upgrading debian/sarge to debian/etch. And I'm still running ISPconfig version 2.2.11. There have been upgrades in the mean time of ISPconfig that support probably more etch than sarge. Would it be best to ? A. Upgrade sarge to etch, than upgrade ISPconfig to the latest version. or? B. Upgrade ISPconfig to the latest version, than upgrade sarge to etch. Don't want to screw things up, you can emagine. It has been running perfectly so far. Anyway thanks in advance for your anwser. Rgds Edo
I would do the operating system upgrade first and then do the update of ispconfig. But the other way around should work as well.
