Mageia forum

Hi,

I am using mageia as a server. The problem is that whenever I make a change to Postfix main.cf, postfix seems to be reading other configuration file elsewhere, where it ignores my settings!

I tried to trace it everywhere starting by init postfix script, passing by sysconfig/postfix and everywhere I could think of.

Anyone has an idea of hoew to make postfix follow my orders?

Thanks

You can see the current state of your postfix configuration with the command

Code: Select all

postconf

postconf -n
will list all non default values
As Postfix is packaged in Mageia the only files it takes its configuration from is in /etc/postfix and /etc/sysconfig/postfix
Any changes made in main.cf should take effect automatically without restarting Postfix. Changes made to master.cf require Postfix to be restarted.

Have you perhaps installed some kind of Postfix configurator which has its own config file?

Thanks for your reply.

Well, I installed nothing extra. I do my configuration using either vi or mc. I used postconf before posting, that's how I noticed that my settings are ignored or overridden somehow.

I still can't figure it out..I'll keep working on it..
