Old Bug or not?

There seems to be an old BUG, http://osdir.com/ml/freebsd-bugs/2006-04/msg00309.html that has recently been noted on the Postfix forums. Was this "bug" ever actually addressed? In other words, is this an actual bug or is it working as intended? If it is a bug, and since it is apparently nearly 5 y

email hosting - How do you do it?

Hello, I've been on qmail/vpopmail combo forever and am looking to build a new, mail server. First choice so far is postfix, but almost all the virtual hosting 'howtos' require an SQL database, or editing files by hand. The SQL part seems like an overkill for ~20-50 email accounts, the editing f
