The packaging of Exim optionally supports a setup in which the config file is split into several conf.d-like directories. Whenever Exim is restarted all files in those directories are concatenated into a single file somewhere under /var which is then fed to the Exim daemon. Couldn't the postfix package be modified to do something similiar? Andreas
