If administrator of particular server installed a package
and later decided to move .so files to other directory
then it is time to add explicit shlib_directory to main.cf.
This case invoking "postfix upgrade-configu

I feel come confusion here. postconf -d shlib_directory reports
expected build-time value. Do you mean components that reads
main.cf directly instead of query to postconf? Pr

Postfix records all installation settings in main.cf even if they
are at their built-in defaults. That is because defaults change
over
Hi,
I have noticed than postfix-install script explicitly adds
shlib_directory to the main.cf file e.g. during non-interactive install.
Is there any reason why such approach is better than relying on
compiled-in default value? PACKAGE_README.html suggests to provide small
main.cf file.
