Package: postfix Version: 2.5.1~rc1-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
As you are aware, postfix in Debian asks for the value of the "mynetworks" parameter during postinst. To me it seems better to populate the "mynetworks_style" parameter through debconf. This parameter provides a higher-level general configuration style: host, subnet or class; Postfix then figures out what that means specifically. Advantage of this parameter is that the debconf question can be simpler, it can just be a select with the three options, remains working when the IP range changes, and automatically takes IPv6 into consideration without the need to specify it separately. I think the large majority of users can be satisfied with the mynetworks_style parameter, and those that aren't can then subsequently edit their main.cf to override it. thanks, Thijs -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.16.6 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-5 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-17+b1 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-7 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.30 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii ssl-cert 1.0.15 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL postfix recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
