Thanks again Wietse, Andreas for taking the time to reply and help me
on this. And I apologize if I am using terminology wrong sometimes, I am
not an expert in all the various areas, and am still learning the
ropes.. Will try to be careful...
I do not need the full functionality of Postfix and Apache James running
on the same machine, just James. But like I have said, I have other
applications, such as Bugzilla, Bacula, and some Tomcat webapps running
on the same machine as James, and these programs are designed to use
sendmail to send out email notifications to users and to the
admin/operator. So yes, I simply need /usr/sbin/sendmail to forward
these submissions to Apache James and not cause a conflict on using port
25 (and port 465 for ssh connections) The Apache James server must
listen on these ports as we have real users using it, both on-site and
off-site, so I don't think it should be configured to listen on a
different port.
I am assuming that /usr/sbin/sendmail is now part of Postfix and is to
be configured via the Postfix configuration files. The older sendmail
application use to have it's own configuration file, to which the notes
on the Apache James website applied.
I tried to summarize the notes Apache James supplied on how to use the
older sendmail application to accomplish this task, and I was attempting
to use their terminology to try an explain. So again, if I am misusing
terminology, please forgive me for causing confusion...
