Hi
Is there anyway of telling which SMTP software Virtualmin is attempting to use - Sendmail was pre-installed with my OS, I then installed Virtualmin followed shortly after by Postfix.
I'm wondering if Virtualmin is attempting to use Sendmail (it shows the Sendmail Started/Stopped etc) and if it is updating Sendmail configs rather than Postfix.
If this is the case, how can i force virtualmin to use Postfix (or vice versa).
I'd prefer to use Postfix (it seems to be the package of choice if/when i upgrade to Pro), but sendmail delivers mail correctly so i'm reluctant to remove it until Postfix is working.
Cheers
Hi Guys
ok i finally got it working - i removed everything (sendmail, postfix, Virtualmin etc) and re-installed it all.
It was definitely caused by Virtualmin defaulting to sendmail - after re-installing Virtualmin i found an option to change the smtp server.
Joe - I think you've got a fantastic system here, but like all things Un*x/Linux it sometimes very complex for us mere mortal, could i suggest you have a "Mission Control" page, detailing all currently used server services and options to restart them etc.
If I could have noticed Virtualmin using Sendmail rather than the package I wanted, it would have saved me days of headbashing.
Cheers
Hey Kelvin,
I believe what you're after is already available in the Virtualmin Framed Theme. (For GPL users, you can download it from here: http://download.webmin.com/download/virtualmin/virtual-server-theme-3.6.... )
It has a right content section showing versions of everything (along with quota usage, number of domains, etc.).
Holler if this isn't what you had in mind. We're designing a new theme that'll be even better for this sort of thing...but we want to make sure we get the bits that people are after in there.

If you go to the virtualmin module config, you can tell it which MTA to use.
