Domino on Suse Linux

I’ve installed domino on Suse Linux 9.1 and am trying to load the smtp task but receive the following error;SMTP Server: Starting…

SMTP Server: Another application is already listening on port 25: 220 - ESMTP Postfix

SMTP Server: Started

SMTP Server: Listener failure, TCP/IP port number [25] is already in use on this system

PostFix is installed by default and I can’t see how I can disable it. I am new to Linux - does anyone know how I can “switch off” the linux smtp

port to allow domino smtp task to run

I’ve followed the Redbook “Lotus Domino 6 of Linux” but it doesn’t give any reference to Postfix

help !!!

thanks

You make a wrong installation, because you don’t need to install Postfix, if you are making a linux server for domino.

So you now need to “deactivate” the automatic startup of postfix.

To do this on SuSE, from X or from shell go to Yast.

When Yast is loaded, go to System, and next go to RunLevel editor and next choose Runlevel properties.

In that screen find postfix and switch off postfix in that runlevel that this deamon start.

Reboot the system, and try to startup Domino.

Thanks to everyone for their help, I’ve now disabled postfix and smtp on domino is working fine.

I don’t suppose the opensource spam/virus s/w works with domino does it ???

thanks again

You can still use postfix as a local mailer with Domino. You just have to make sure that postfix doesn’t listen on port 25, since Domino will be the mailserver on that machine.For this you just have to reconfigure postfix in 2 files :

1 /etc/postfix/main.cf:

 myorigin = $mydomain

 relayhost = yourservername

 inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1

 local_transport = error:local delivery is disabled

2 /etc/postfix/master.cf:

 Comment out the local delivery agent entry (smtp service)

This way you can still use all the postfix commands to sendout system mails.

FYI, this can be done from a terminal session:-jmw/etc/init.d/postfix stop

/xbin/chkconfig -s postfix off
