The Mandrake changes are mostly needed by the Mandrake directory structure.
There are two Mandrake changes to which I object: inet_interfaces = localhost mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN They both break postfix and they are both unnecessary. Postfix will not run without hostname and domainname. There are not configured in /etc/sysconfig/network by default. Of course this is all well documented but packagers should either not make functional changes or they should note them in a consistent manner and place and display them in the postinstall scripts.
