Hi,

Firstly, excuse me if this topic has been covered already, but I
couldn't find the answers I was looking for in the list archives.

I am trying to replace Sendmail on a RedHat 7.0 system, but I'm running
into a number of problems:

1) Sendmail uninstall - I know I will have to use the --nodeps flag, but
currently it is claiming deps on mutt and on fetchmail. I know mutt will
not be a problem, but what about fetchmail?

2) I am trying to use the rpms from ftp.exim.org - I have tried both the
4.x and the 3.x rpms - and they both need openssl-0.9.6b. I have
openssl-0.9.6-9 which I believe is the highest I can go on rh7.0. Also,
is libdb-3.2.so a part of openssl or is it from another package?

For right now, I don't want to uninstall Sendmail until I am sure that I
can get Exim up and running to replace it shortly afterwards. Any and
all hints are appreciated.

Thanks,
Miles Muri

The have as their dependancies smpt_daemon, basically they just need
something that talks smtp, EXIM works very well.

You can get the official Red Hat rpms from the powertools and also from
the Red Hat Network.

I have a copy of them here:

Sendmail will reinstall as easily as it uninstalls, just make sure you
back up your configuration files before you do so.

Kind regards

libdb-3.2.so is most likely part of the db3-3.2.9 rpm. You can see what
is part of the openssl-0.9.6-9 rpm by using the following command.

rpm -lq openssl
