You can have them both installed, (Fedora/RedHat are very good at avoiding rpm conflicts) but I am sure that if you have them both *running* with default configs they'll conflict over port 25 and various other things. So yes, uninstallign postfix is recommended. Probably disabling it is enough (chkconfig --level 345 postfix off). > Is it going to break anything having uninstalled postfix or will I otherwise > run into unexpected issues? Sometimes the XS is kinda weird about stuff > like that. We're weird, true. But removing postfix is ok. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
