Topic: Upgrade to SME 9.2 - QPSMTPD Known issues when upgrading from previous SME9.x

Known issues when upgrading from previous SME9.x
QPSMTPD stop accepting incoming mails
Some plugins have a different name with the new version of qpsmtpd, the service in charge of the incoming emails. This is why some template custom and some not up to date contribs could make this service fail to start.
1. you must take attention to upgrade 3 contribs (if they are already installed) related to email, otherwise you server might stop receiving email
smeserver-mailstat >=1.1-9 (or your daily mail stats will be incomplete but email will work)
smeserver-geoip >=1.1.2-7 (as geoip database have changed)
smeserver-wbl >=0.3.0-14 (or will prevent email service to start)


Can I please clarify - the following steps must be performed BEFORE attempting to update to SME9.2 ???

I do have some of these contribs installed.

Fortunately - upto this point, the update has failed to complete (and essentially saved me from a broken mail server - THANKYOU!) with the following error

"Error: smeserver-qpsmtpd conflicts with smeserver-wbl-0.3.0-12.el6.sme.noarch"

Am I correct in assuming that after I follow the steps outlined in the known issues section. that the normal yum update will work?

Thanks In Advance - sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere, I could not find it.

I think you can upgrade them all at the same time.

However, it will probably be easier to remove the 3 contribs, upgrade the server, and then install the contribs again.

We introduced this conflict to limit the damage of people updating the core without updating the contribs.

You should always  updates both simultaenously. (Core and contribs)


Still you might have few template customs in the way that could conflict, but there you are alone with the documentation, as we cannot plan what custom template you could imagine and what name you could give it...
