OpenSMTPD on OpenBSD 7.6

Pub:
Tag: OpenBSD

This is your reminder to read the Upgrade Guide before spontaneously running sysupgrade. Post upgrade, I was curious why I couldn’t send/receive any e-mail. After frantically scouring through man pages I realized that opensmtpd-extras, the package I was using to read aliases/virtuals/credentials, had been deprecated! As of OpenBSD 7.6, opensmtpd now uses the package opensmtpd-table-passwd to do this.

If I had simply read the Upgrade Guide, I would have realized this before wasting half an hour! Thankfully, opensmtpd-table-passwd is a drop-in replacement that doesn’t need any additional configuration.

Hope this help!
