Sendmail dependancy

[jillrae]

Am installing Scalix 11.0.1-GA (fresh install) onto a new SLES 10 server. Got all the dependancy problems resolved except:

Sendmail 8.12 is needed by Scalix-Server-11.0.1.11-1.sles10i586

I checked and sendmail 8.13 is installed on the SLES. A search for sendmail 8.12 for SLES 10 didn't find anything. SLES 10 wants sendmail 8.13x. Do I have to download sendmail 8.12, complile on SLES 10, uninstall sendmail 8.13 and install sendmail 8.12 to resolve this dependancy problem? Why won't Scalix 11.0.1 use the newest version of sendmail?

No, it should certainly work with the sendmail version that comes with the OS.

I'll need to setup Scalix on SLES10 on Monday myself, so I'll see if this happens for me.

I just checked

Code: Select all

[florian@bilbo scalix_server]$ rpm -q -p scalix-server-11.0.1.11-1.sles10.i586.rpm --requires


and it comes back with

Code: Select all

sendmail >= 8.12


So that would mean that it requires a minimum version of 8.12, which is fine.

What does your system show for

Code: Select all

rpm -q sendmail

Hm??
Cheers,

rpm -q sendmail
returns
package sendmail is not installed

So tried to install sendmail, but had to delete postfix in order to get in installed. Scalix is installing Ok right now.

Is postfix necessary for sendmail?

thanks

[florian]

nope. on most systems postfix and sendmail are mutually exclusive. using sendmail and unstallating postfix (which is installed by default) is the right thing to do this on SLES.
