One of the things that impresses me most about Postfix is Wietse's dedication to backwards compatibility. The way Postfix achieves it is unique as far as I am aware. Obviously, for a mail system, backwards compatibility should/must be of the utmost importance to prevent massive breakage in the face of inattention by system administrators, but I think that should be true of any system that people might come to depend on. Others seem happy to break things regularly. Not cool. If it's not broken, don't break it. :-) cheers, raf _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
