What steps are required to make sure yum running in autopilot mode doesn't destroy a locally compiled and configured postfix?

Putting 'exclude=postfix' in your yum config file.

Hi
I ran into this with a local exim install.
I found that if I put exim into exclude= yum would try to install an alternative mta. I installed the packages that listed exim as a dependency manually with --nodeps and then let yum do the rest.
Alternatively you could roll you own SRPM and build from that.

Just curious....what was missing from the stock postfix that convinced you to compile your own from scratch?
Best,

The ability to stay current with Dr. Venema (one of the greats); by doing so, we got to help debug milter support, which was FUN.
BTW, I've since found out that there are a number of yum utilties which may prove helpful in managing such situations, such as:
yum-allowdowngrade yum-changelog yum-downloadonly yum-fastestmirror yum-fedorakmod yum-kernel-module yum-priorities yum-protectbase yum-skip-broken yum-tsflags yum-updateonboot yum-versionlock
