Public bug reported: With the recent merge to postfix 3 there were quite some changes to its configuration. Now postfix has a lot to handle those changes in a compatible way so that old configurations should transfer to postfix 3 as good as possible.
In case any incompatibilities occur it reports that in the log and refers to http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html to handle them. While all that is great for anyone migrating from an old system with any kind of custom config, there is not much sense in throwing all these messages out at someone that just freshly installed it. To Reproduce just: apt-get remove --purge postfix apt-get install postfix in /var/log/mail.log: Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix[25109]: Postfix is running with backwards-compatible default settings Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix[25109]: See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html for details Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix[25109]: To disable backwards compatibility use "postconf compatibility_level=2" and "postfix reload" Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix/master[24994]: reload -- version 3.0.4, configuration /etc/postfix Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix/master[24994]: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 12: using backwards-compatible default setting chroot=y [...] there are more like those So overall I'd suggest we deliver default configuration files that match a valid (not only due to backward compatibility) postfix 3 configuration. ** Affects: postfix (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549672 Title: Default config files don't match postfix 3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/1549672/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
