Thanks for pointing it out - I've read it several times already. "ORIGINATING" is not mentioned at all in MILTER_README. And while I'm sure the postconf(5) brief explanation is meaningful to you, it means nothing to me. As I noted, I am completely unfamiliar with milters, and don't know what a milter daemon is. I don't expect a tutorial, but I am hoping that the very knowledgeable people on this list can suggest somewhere where I can learn enough to understand what this: milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING does and what it means. Any explanation of why it is suggested in the default set up in the distribution is helpful as well.
