Can you please confirm that it won't cause any problem if we put
comments at the end of config lines?
No, I can't.
Example:
file: /etc/postfix/virtual
postmaster [email protected] # this is a comment
$ cat virtual
postmaster [email protected] # this is a comment
$ postmap -q postmaster virtual
[email protected] # this is a comment
That doesn't look problem-free to me.
From man postmap(1):
INPUT FILE FORMAT
The format of a lookup table input file is as follows:
• A table entry has the form
key whitespace value
• Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are
lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
• A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that
starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
It doesn't mention that parts of a line after '#' are ignored when the
'#' is preceded by non-whitespace characters.
We need to know this because of automation reasons.
Thanks!
