We use the Cutedge LaunchDaemons to start postfix and SMTP at boot time. I don't use it to configure postfix (although I could); I just edit the files (very rarely up until this past week).
> IIRC from an earlier post of yours, you're using OS X Server Yes, on the internal IMAP/POP server. Not on the gateway SMTP toaster. We have multiple machines. One handles port 25; the other handles all other ports. Mail from the Internet hits the gateway box where RBL testing and local recipient checks are done. The remaining 1 or 2 % of incoming mail is then relayed to the internal server for delivery. > Considering how (as I understand it) Apple likes to keep the guts of their > server products hidden Nah. X Server has a lovely GUI, but the actual programs are still easily accessible from the command line in all their text-based con file glory. I still love them for that. The only gotten is that it's best to start/stop the daemons using the GUi. Fwiw, I'm also currently running Cutedge MailServe on the internal server (due to issues with OS X Server's included anti-spam). If I can get Spam checking working reliably on the gateway box, I can go back to OS X Server handling mail delivery internally. As long as I turn off OS X Server's Mail section, they don't compete. > On Nov 19, 2015, at 14:58, Larry Stone <lston...@stonejongleux.com> wrote: > > Vicki, I long ago used Cutedge's product to get me going with Postfix.
