These numbers don't seem to add up.
My big question is how do I get this system upgraded without breaking it?
postconf -d | grep mail_version
mail_version = 2.4.5
and also
rpm -qa | grep postfix
postfix-2.3.3-2.el5.centos.mysql_pgsql
postfix-pflogsumm-2.3.3-2
first remove tha package with yum (yum remove postfix postfix-logsumm)
or with rpm (rpm -e ...).
then check if you still have a postfix there. if so, remove it. to do
so, look for
- files with "postfix" in their path name: find / |grep postfix
- sbin files: /usr/[local]/sbin/post*
- manual pages
- rc scripts
once you've removed all postfix files, install the (new) package.
