Hello again people,
OK. I checked a lot of HOWTOs and documents. One specific document
describes how one can make dovecot "talk" to postfix.
The procedure is pretty straightforward (taken from the document) :
--
. Configuring Postfix and Dovecot
Turn off sendmail:
service sendmail stop
chkconfig sendmail off
system-switch-mail
(select postfix)
--
This is for CentOS systems.
My question is pretty simple. How exactly does someone tell dovecot
(or the CentOS system) that the MTA used is not a pre-packaged postfix
MTA but (in my case as you have pretty much discovered by now) XMail
compiled from source (no pre-packaged version AFAIK for CentOS; but even
if existed, I would still build it on my own) ?
Any help would be appreciated,
Regards,
spyros
