After I finnaly got everything up and working I realized that in order to get postfix doing what I want I have a convuluted mess of hacks to get various programs to talk to each other (and clear text passwords spread throughout my system)..
So I took postfix off and when back to Qmail.. 10 min setup for almost everything I want (local users, virutal domains, and SSL/TLS) The only reason I tried postfix is because I wanted to play with Mia MailGuard. But It's not worth it. I will figure out another way to give virutal users individual spamassassin config files. -- Steve B. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
