I'd say it's nice. However, why is it using "subnet" by default? Maybe Wietse/others have good reasons for it? I'd prefer they back the change on their side - also, it's better for us to change only the lowest possible number of parameters, so that new users are less lost when setting up our package for their needs. > Since we are speaking of postfix default setup, it seems that Vietse has > strong feelings against chrooting postfix by default.

I speak as maintainer of postfix - however it's public knowledge that I don't know so much postfix after all :/. I'd say that chrooting is good for security, and it's generally a good option. People wanting more complex or problematic-with-chroot configs can normally easily remove it. It would help to know what are the strong feeling sof Wietse. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
