*** THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION ***
                      Look at ../ for the 2.0.x package

===========================================================================
 Abstract
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an alternative to
the widely-used Sendmail program.
Postfix 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.

 Slackware specific notes (by "Gian Luca Matteucci" <gianluca@gmatte.net>)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 USER & GROUP(S)
-----------------
Postfix 1.1.x *requires* one dedicated UID and *two* GID. The default values
for theese accounts, as used in this package building are the followings:
uid=12345(postfix)	gid=12345(postfix)
			gid=12346(postdrop)
The last group is required to not be shared with other UIDs.
Writing the package installation scripts, I did't take care of the creation
of theese acounts to avoid messing up *your* system, so you have to do it
manually (I suggest you do this *before* installing the package).


 INSTALL
---------
Simply do 

# installpkg postfix

If you have sendmail (and maybe even other MTAs) installed I suggest you do

# removepkg sendmail

Postfix (and consequently this package) has a sendmail-wrapper which will be
installed in /usr/lib/sendmail which will allow you (and your scripts) to use
the old sendmail-ish syntax.

Keith Winston reported me that the slackware sendmail package contains the
*procmail* program which will be uninstalled too. This doesn't happens if
you installed the procmail.tgz package. If you are using procmail I recommend
you install procmail.tgz, remove sendmail.tgz and then install postfix.tgz .


 UPGRADE (*READ CAREFULLY*)
----------------------------
The upgradepackage utility will install default configuration files, so
*all your config will be lost*. I suggest you make a backup of your files
in /etc/postfix , before upgrading.
Please don't flood the postfix mailing lists with this stuffs (this is
strictly a Slackware package problem, don't give Debian people yet another
reason to start an 'holy war' ;).
I'll try and get rid of this in the next(s) release(s) of this package.
Anyway, note that upgradepkg(7) man page explicity underline ths problem.
