Description Oliver Kullmann 2006-02-02 17:23:37 UTC

First I installed sendmail as it used to work (with previous Suse
versions), for a permanent connection, providing an IP address
for the mail server. It didn't work; after many hours we found out
that the mail wouldn't go to the specified mail server.
So looking up POSTFIX_RELAYHOST in Yast/etc/sysconfic editor,
and there it is, it has the right IP address in it?! Then looking
it up in /etc/postfix/main.cf we see that the Yast settings have no
influence (at least regarding this variable) --- whatever we do with
Yast the value for relayhost in main.cf is the empty string.

Setting "relayhost = IP-address" directly in main.cf solved the problem.

I suppose SuSEconfig should export this setting here, I take the postfix-maintainer into CC here.

reassigning to postfix maintainer

1. I've tested and it works fine. If you set this variable manual or
   with yast2-sysconfig, and execute subsequent SuSEconfig this variable
   will be set in /etc/postfix/main.cf.

2. The problem is, that yast2-sysconfig does not execute SuSEconfig.

3. If the variable MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG in the file /etc/sysconfig/mail ist set 
   to "no" SuSEconfig will not change the mail system settings.

Ladislav, closing yast2-sysconfig why will not executed SuSEconfig?

Ladislav ???

SuSEconfig should be started by Yast, at least it works for me (tested in 10.0 and  10.1Beta2):

- Start "yast2 sysconfig"
- Change POSTFIX_RELAYHOST value
- Finish
- check Confirm Each Activation Command, press OK
- yast asks whether postfix SuSEConfig module should be started, press Continue to start it

(If you do not check the confirmation option then yast starts all commands automatically.)
