Hello - I am a new subscriber to this mail list and am in need of some help configuring Postfix/Sendmail to work with the Apache James email server. Don't get me wrong on this, Postfix is probably a fine MTA, but I have some complex mailets designed which run under Apache James. ;-) Anywise, in the past, I have usually turned off Postfix, on my servers, and just used the older Sendmail to handle the mail interface for some other applications that are also running on my servers. (Bugzilla and Bacula in particular) To accomplish this, the people at Apache James supplied a set of instructions (now found at http://wiki.apache.org/james/JamesAndSendmail ) to configure Sendmail just to relay email it picks up, to James, and not conflict with James in using the ports)
My distro (openSuSE 11.4) appears to be dropping the older Sendmail and moving towards Postfix instead. I know that Postfix supplies a somewhat compatible SendMail front end, so as to remain compatible with those applications that use Sendmail. What I need to know is how to configure Postfix/SendMail to work with and be compatible with Apache James. In other words, I would like to be able to accomplish the same effective configuration as was done and explained on the above mentioned webpage. Would some kind Postfix guru be willing to help me with this? Sure would appreciate it, and I will help/work with the James webmaster to update their wiki so the Postfix mail list won't be bothered with others asking this same question. Many thanks in advance! Marc Chamberlin
