First, I didn't say that when I experienced this "search visibility problem" myself it was with SASL, I just remember vaguely that I had already signalled such a problem. Second, it's not a "next time" problem, it's a "first time" problem. To me it doesn't happen anymore, or very seldom. We were speaking of newcomers. Third, and most important: things are not difficult or long only *if* you already know exactly where to look for and what are the right terms to look for. My first or almost first message to this list was more or less like "I have no problem to study manuals and man pages myself, but I need to understand *what* are the right docs to read to do what I want to do: just because email terminology is damn confusing even if I'm far from a novice Linux user" Fourth: the "search box" at postfix.org is just a google search restricted to postfix.org. But the docs at postfix.org are very thorough, focused technical documentation explaining every single bit and variable of the program. Take this as a compliment, because that's what it is. But, exactly because of this and of the "third thing" above, one quickly learns that searching directly via Google *without* site restrictions is *better*, as in "more efficient" than the postfix.org search box. Because, very often, it returns at least one or two task-focused tutorials, pages from http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter or single messages from this very list which explain what to write in main.cf or master.cf to do what you needed. Please remind that NONE of this is meant to dismiss your great work, NOR to request that anybody does anything. It's just a possible explanation of why one should not be surprised if certain requests keep popping up even if to the veterans the subject seemed very simple to find.
