Sync MailScanner and postfix config (simple script)

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

SERVER=server.domain.tld
# Sync files for postfix
/usr/bin/rsync root@$SERVER:/etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf
/usr/bin/rsync root@$SERVER:/etc/postfix/relay_domains /etc/postfix/relay_domains
/usr/bin/rsync root@$SERVER:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients /etc/postfix/relay_recipients
/usr/bin/rsync root@$SERVER:/etc/postfix/sender_access /etc/postfix/sender_access
/usr/bin/rsync root@$SERVER:/etc/postfix/transport /etc/postfix/transport
/usr/bin/rsync root@$SERVER:/etc/postfix/virtual /etc/postfix/virtual
# postmap

/usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/relay_domains
/usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/relay_recipients
/usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/sender_access
/usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/transport
/usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/virtual

# sync files [...]
