Error, Retry, Discard Required?

2011-12-30 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu 
Hi,

Couldn't find any clear answers to this question anywhere in the documentation. 
 I'm not specifically referencing the error, retry or discard transports.  Can 
I keep them commented out in master.cf?  Are they used internally?

Cheers,
Sabahattin

You're not? (typo?)

You need the error and retry transports. The discard transport is only
used when discarding mail, e.g. using transport_maps:

some@address discard:

Postfix uses error and retry when it can't deliver mail. discard
is like /dev/null - you can try to remove it but someone (and that
may be you a year from now) will hate you for it.

OK.  Thanks.  I'll check the docs again and see if I can find this anywhere, by 
way of reconciliation.
