Yes. The newer version will be installed with its config files, but the upgrade will migrate your settings from the old config files to the new ones. > what happens to the config files when i don't use the RPM method? Your old configuration will still be preserved, when you run "make install-configure". Courier ships with a tool called sysconftool, and it takes care of migrating settings from the old files to the new. RPM is still better though. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
