Switching from qMail to Postfix?

We recently upgraded to 9.0 from 8. How would I go about turning on Postfix (or switching from qMail to Postfix?)
 
If you're using the yum repo, a bug will actually do this for you. 'yum update' will treat the postfix pc driver as an update over the qmail one, and vice versa.
 
Yum not finding postfix...

I've run yum update, and it can't find postfix in the Repo.
 
To switch from qmail to postfix , Go to shell and run /usr/local/psa/bin/autoinstaller and when you get the package page just select postfix i think its like 15 or 16 and then click next. The autoinstaller will install and configure postfix and remove disable qmail and configure postfix in cron etc. It will migrate all your settings over and stuff. Also make sure you add the atomic turtle repo's to your yum. This is probably the most single important thing. I can't thank atomic turtle enough for all his work he does.

Configure Atomic Turtle Repo's

Install the ART GPG key:
wget http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

Using Wget:
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh

Thats it!
 
Hi, I know it's an old thread but I just have a quick question :

I would like to switch from Qmail to PostFix. If I use the autoinstaller script, i'm not going to loose something ? (I mean, I have 30 domains with data, sql dbs, mail accounts, ...).

I have to be sure nothing 'll be deteled before using autoinstaller.

Thx in adance.
 
Problem switching to qmail

Hi, I'm completely new to Plesk, and I'm trying to switch my MTA from Postfix to qmail on a 10.0.0 panel.

As recommended by the HowTo, I have run the autoinstaller command:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component qmail

The install was successful:
Installed: psa-qmail.i386 2:1.03-rhel5.build108100921.15
Complete!

But my MTA is still set to 'Postfix':
[root@ns bin]# ./mailmng --features | grep SMTP_Server
$features['SMTP_Server'] = "Postfix";
$features['SMTP_Server_package'] = "postfix";

Any idea?
