Hi -

Correct me if I am wrong on my understanding of these tools, don't claim
to be an expert!   I just upgraded my openSuSE server to the latest
release 11.4, and am trying to setup James (version 2.3.2) and configure
the rest of the system to something similar to what I have had in the
past. Part of this involved configuring Sendmail so it would route email
sent through it (from applications such as Bugzilla) through James.
(This also prevented a conflict on using the mail ports as well). For
this, the James website provided a set of instructions for configuring
Sendmail to work with James and I have had success in the past following
these instructions.

With the latest version of openSuSE, it appears that Sendmail (as a
standalone MTA) is being phased out and Postfix is the replacement.
Postfix has it's own version of Sendmail so as to remain backwards
compatible with applications that use Sendmail. However, there isn't a
separate configuration file for the Postfix-Sendmail so the instructions
on how to configure Sendmail to work with James is no longer applicable.
I need to retain the Sendmail API for a number of applications that also
run on my server.

SO? How does one configure Postfix to work with James? Any pointers and
advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance... (Any chance of
updating the webpage on the James website that discusses this? I think
it too is quite a bit out of date and many of the details no longer
apply either, though I have been able to figure out what to do despite
the documentation errors.)

   Marc...
