IMHO the safer rule of thumb is to put your modifications to main.cf at the end of the file, and when you upgrade it, use the .rpmnew file as a base, and copy your modifications at the end. Don't keep your old file. That way, you won't miss new default settings (those may even fix problems). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
