Hi,
I've having some difficulty installing courier mail on a fresh freebsd
4.7 box. I've included the full "dmesg -a" log at the end of the message
and I've highlighted the specific errors in the following text.
*Installing Courier Mail on FreeBSD HOWTO?*
Where is documentation for installing courier mail on freebsd? Is there any?
*Removing Sendmail?*
What needs to be done to "remove" sendmail sufficiently so that courier
mail will work with FreeBSD (4.7)?
I've never installed the courier MTA (I use postfix) -- however, the
install scripts in the courier port appear to have something similar to
the postfix scripts.....did you allow it to enable courier in
/etc/mailer.conf? This will make the system use courier instead of
sendmail for things like newaliases and for programs that send email by
calling sendmail directly.
I'm not quite sure how to ensure that sendmail is turned off or
"removed" completely. I've set 'sendmail_enable="NO"' in /etc/rc.conf.
During booting I get the following error messages relating to
sendmail/courier mail.
If you want no sendmail daemons started at all, set sendmail_enable="NONE"
Take a look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf....the FreeBSD sendmail config has
become more complex over the last couple of releases, so if it's been a
while since you looked through the rc.conf options, you should probably
do so again.
