[juneau-lug] SuSE 7.3 YAST2 Update warning

Just a word of caution for anyone running SuSE 7.3 with Postfix &
Amavis-Postfix - expect to do some tweaking if you update your system with
Yast.  I did that today, and it broke for several minutes while I repaired
the update.

I had to restore my main.cf (luckily I had a backup!), as the update
removed any references to zuelow.net.  Strangely, everything else I've
modified was still there - so YAST did not just replace my main.cf with a
stock version as some .rpm's will do.  It just removed any reference to my
domain name, causing mail to bounce with relay-not-allowed errors.

Amavis also did not work right away - the errors indicated a syntax error
somewhere in the Amavis script itself:

The log entry ends there, so I'm assuming it filled the buffer and there
is more.  For now I've turned off Amavis until I find the issue.  If you
rely on Amavis, don't upgrade it yet!

Cheers,
