Right. However, postconf output seems to be non deterministic. i.e. postconf -qc /some/dir -e a=b c=d sometimes results in the main.cf as a = b c = d and sometimes the output is the other way around c = d a = b And when one builds postfix from the source code in a separate area of the file system and then transfers it over to the final destination like gentoo (or probably arch does or maybe ports in BSDs as well?), one gets the diffs mentioned above depending on the postconf output that is run as part of postfix-install command. -- Eray _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
