I'm sorry I used a feature that was described in the documentation and seemed to mostly work fine. :-) I'll convert to /usr/local/etc/postfix. > I've already posted the relevant link, here it is again. > > http://www.postfix.org/INSTALL.html#build_over Perhaps someone should clarify the limitation of "-c config_dir" in the man pages. http://www.postfix.org/postalias.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postcat.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postconf.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postfix.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postkick.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postlock.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postlog.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postmap.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postqueue.1.html http://www.postfix.org/postsuper.1.html Also there is no mention of a restriction in: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#config_directory > Either accept the compile-time directory of /usr/local/etc/postfix (on the > NetBSD system I use it is /usr/pkg/etc/postfix, which works just fine), or > build Postfix to your taste if using /etc/postfix is very important to you. > > -- > Viktor. OK. I'm fine with moving it. The configuration documentation led me to believe that it was supposed to work but apparently that is not the case and the limitation was only in the build documentation. Sorry to be so dense. Curtis
