i disagree stronlgy mainly because of things like tripwire, which i
think should be scanning *everything* but a small list of exceptions
- not a list of things to scan and to ignore all rest.
/var/spool/postfix contains some very important files that (a) affect
the way postfix is working and how secure it is, and (b) are static
files in that they don't change between boots. therefore, you tripwire
them -- which is useless if every restart of postfix causes tripwire
to bitch.
