-Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an alternative to the
-widely-used Sendmail program. It attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and
-secure, while at the same time, being sendmail compatible enough to not upset
-existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is
-completely different.
-
-This script builds postfix with optional support for Dovecot SASL, Cyrus SASL
-can be enabled with:
-
- SASL=cyrus ./postfix.SlackBuild
-
-You can also enable support for MySQL:
-
- DATABASE=mysql ./postfix.SlackBuild
-
-PostgreSQL support can be enabled with:
-
- DATABASE=pgsql ./postfix.SlackBuild
-
-On systems with multiple instances, add major version, eg: DATABASE=pgsql-9.5
-
-This script will find support for BerkleyDB and PCRE automagically; TLS support
-requires openssl package, openssl-solibs alone is not enough. Additionally, this
-script doesn't add postfix user and groups, instead it offers sane defaults that
-won't conflict with system users and groups, and other scripts from the SBo.
-
-Package created with this script will conflict with stock sendmail package, you
-*should* remove sendmail before installing postfix, otherwise sendmail updates
-could break your postfix instance.
-
-When upgrading from an older postfix version, make sure the variables such as
-html_directory and readme_directory in /etc/postfix/main.cf point to the new
-location. These can also be fixed later, afterwards make sure to run:
-
- postfix set-permissions
-
-Furthermore, many of the utilities in postfix have multiple manpages such as
-postconf(5) and postconf(8). Use man -k to find them, and don't forget to
-subscribe to the postfix-users mailing list!
