This is a RedHat packaging question. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB>. If your RedHat package is 2.1.5-21 or later, it should be no problem. If it is 2.1.5-20 or earlier, many files and directories move as discussed in the FAQ, but the FAQ also tells you where to find a migration script and RedHat's documentation. > b) How easy is it to convert a sendmail setup with /etc/aliases to > postfix? any automated scripts? No conversion is required. Postfix can use the same Mailman aliases as Sendmail in /etc/aliases except that the path to the wrapper may change from /var/mailman/mail/mailman to /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman because of the file changes above. On the other hand, the new package may make various changes in both postfix and Mailman to enable Mailman/Postfix integration, in which case all you'd need to do after migration is to remove Mailman's aliases from /etc/aliases and run Mailman's bin/genaliases to generate the new aliases. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California Better use your sense - B.
