Yesterday morning I tried to get Postfix to work, as mentioned in the comments on my earlier post.
I failed and reverted to sendmail. But I wasn't happy about failure, so I took![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mallen's suggestion and I grabbed the source rpm and made a tweak.
Well that didn't work either, but it got me closer. Once I remembered that postfix operates in a chroot jail, I made a change, and...that didn't work either. But it did get me closer.
Turns out there's a bug in postfix. I hacked in a fix and recompiled and now it seems to work ok; but man, upgrading postfix, if I ever need to, is going to be exciting.
What if? When. Nothing is bug-free =)
Oh well. Most of the major articles are finally done (and most of them proved to be a pain) so I think I'm getting close to ready to cut over to the new machine. Can't wait to do that and see what survives.
