Hi Noel, I was pretty clear in stating this should be done in this case only, for Paul. I wasn't making the case for everyone to do this. Paul had already given postconf -n snippets. From that point forward, if he were to give us the main.cf, we could easily mark it up with changes for him to make. If we were to mark up his postconf -n snippets and give them back, I'm thinking he'd have trouble easily integrating the changes. Paul is a beginner, pretty green with *nix, DNS, SMTP, and Postfix and Dovecot specifically. I've worked with him pretty extensively on getting his system setup. We met on the Debian list many many months ago. I directed him to the Postfix list. I think it would be better for Paul if we used main.cf format generally, and postconf -n output when necessary. I'm just trying to make it easier for us to help Paul help himself. -- Stan
