Re: How to uninstall mlmmj

- mlmmj is a required component by iRedMail, especially if you manage iRedMail with iRedAdmin-Pro.
- if you do not run iRedAdmin-Pro and really want to get rid of it, remove the "mlmmj" transport in /etc/postfix/master.cf and main.cf, then remove mlmmj package and /opt/mlmmjadmin*.

Question: we do not publish iRedMail upgrade tutorial for cases like "if you do not run mlmmj", so how are you going to upgrade your system when new iRedMail version comes out?

I'd like to use iRedAdmin-Pro but I cannot afford it.

Thank you very much.

A good question...

I looked through the upgrade tutorial from v.0.9.8 to v.0.9.9 and it seems mlmmj is referenced in upgrade_iredadmin.sh only. There is a check_mlmmjadmin_installation() function and one place where the function is invoked and there is a code chunk 'Enable mlmmj integration'.

So if you put a check there whether iRedAdmin-Pro is used, then the code may be not run for those who have no iRedAdmin-Pro. This is in case you want to continue support for open source edition of iRedAdmin.

Re: How to uninstall mlmmj

We consider mlmmj and mlmmjadmin as required core components in iRedMail, not just in iRedAdmin-Pro. So, we will not do this check in iRedAdmin-Pro upgrade script. You have to take care of this by yourself.
