Description Alan Hughes 2007-11-09 17:24:33 UTC

The YaST mail server module hardcodes the use of an LDAP DN (ou=Mailserver,...) although the Postfix configuration has been modified to reference a different (and already existing) DN.

The problem exists in the file /usr/share/YaST2/modules/YaPI/MailServer.pm which contains the hardcoded DN. I would expect YaST to pick up the DN specified by in the Postfix configuration files (/etc/postfix/ldap*.cf) and use that.

Note that any LDAP DNs added by YaST as a consequence of changes to the mail configuration are inserted into location(s) in the LDAP directory specified in the Postfix configuration files, so some parts of YaST are behaving as expected.

This sounds more like a feature request for me -> lowering the severity to enhancement.

The configuration a mail-server is complicates in such a way that it is necessary to determine some defaults. If you would like to configure the mail server with yast2 please adhere to these defaults.
