RE: Adding postfix to startup

Hi Steve,
I installed via the RH9 RPMs on the site you gave before. It is now started up but I have a problem it seems regarding sending emails. I can't seem to sendmail them out to mailboxes. I have webmin installed and tried flushing the queue and it gives this line:


"Forcing the attempted delivery of mail with the command /usr/sbin/postqueue -c /etc/postfix -f .."

Does this mean I have some configuring to do in postfix such as master.cf and main.cf? Also, I have a dynamic host so I use dyndns.org to store my IP. Does it matter if I dont have anything put in for the mail exchanger in dyndns.org's records?

Regards,
Ben

Did the taball you referenced above install the redhat postfix init script
(/etc/init.d/postfix) after you compiled it? i.e. make; make install.
Without the postfix init script, chkconfig will not be able to reference
postfix to start at bootup. Which I believe is what your asking.

If you do have the postfix init script installed, then I'm at a loss as to
why you are not able to reference it with chkconfig. If all else fails, I
guess you could always manually create the link in the appropriate runelevel
to get postfix to start at bootup.


If you don't have the postfix init script installed, then try compiling
postfix from the rpm source (instead of the tarball) as I stated in my
previous post. The postfix init script will be installed.

# rpm -ql postfix | grep init.d
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix

# chkconfig --list postfix
postfix         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
