Description of problem: I just did a yum update, which updated postfix. Doing so completely annihilates the mail settings I had before. My procmail filters no longer work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2:2.5.6-1.fc10 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update 2. start postfix 3. Actual results: the mail settings which were working earlier (more specifically the filtering done by procmail) is broken. Expected results: yum update of postfix should not affect the settings. Additional info:
An additional source of information. When I restart postfix and fetchmail, things work. But this is still a bug, a yum update should not break these settings.
Any chance the update installed exim (bug #472756)?

I don't understand what exactly is wrong. The config files which worked with older postfix didn't work after update, but after postfix restart they do?
No. I did some checking, and it turns out there was nothing wrong with the configuration files. What happened was the header was getting changed, and those rules which were based on the FROM line failed, since the From line was getting changed to my user.
Ok, I'm still not sure what when wrong, but I'm assuming it was a problem with configuration and closing this as NOTABUG. Please reopen if you think it should be addressed.
