Hello.
I have Postfix running since some years ago and always ok, now when
upgraded to Debian Lenny started giving to me these error messages when
tested port 465
Nov 7 09:15:57 140 postfix/smtpd[26674]: fatal: bad boolean
configuration: smtpd_tls_auth_only =

I was reading that port 465 is not supported in new versions of
Postfix,
Not true. Postfix has never supported *sending to* smtps, but
has always supported incoming connections with the
smtpd_tls_wrappermode directive (well, always since TLS was
supported). This is unlikely to change.
so I will use port 587 as I was doing, I would like ask if
these line in master.cf config file can be deleted without broke
nothing. I tested and apprently is ok.
#smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o
smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtp
d_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes -o
smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authen
ticated,reject
You can't have spaces in -o options in master.cf. Remove the
spaces around the equal sign and the above should work fine.
It's good to offer your clients both the deprecated smtps port
465 and the standard submission port 587 so they can connect
regardless of what their mail client supports.
Thanks
Josep
