this can be accomplished various ways. I use my $PATH personally.
You mean put MacPorts paths first? I did that and all was well except the one thing I needed postfix for. Namely, sending mail with the 'mail' executable on the MTA host. I guess 'mail' isn't part of postfix and Apple's 'mail' executable must be hardcoded to use /usr/sbin/sendmail 15:08 eris:~% strings /usr/bin/mail|grep sendmail %*s [- sendmail-options ...] sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
I can't find a postfix-watch command. But I suppose it wouldn't matter anyway if Apple's LaunchDaemon is removed?
sure
So would it be ok if I modified the ui_msgs from this:
ui_msg "To get postfix working, you need to copy sample configuration " ui_msg "files and to edit them (${prefix}/etc/postfix/*.sample)." ui_msg "You may also want to turn your system's MTA off."
to this:
ui_msg "\n To get postfix working, you need to copy the sample configuration files and edit them (${prefix}/etc/postfix/*.sample). You may also want to turn off Apple's built-in MTA. For example, on 10.4:
-Delete /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist -Replace the built-in sendmail file with a symlink to MacPorts' sendmail: sudo mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.org ln -s ${prefix}local/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail \n"
go for it. -- hail eris http://rubberduck.com/
