Correct? If so, then you'll need to do the same thing again to build an updated postfix package. Of course, if all you changed was a config file in /etc/postfix, then that should be saved by rpm on a package update. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You pretend to work, and we'll pretend to pay you.
