TIA. man 5 aliases:

When those files are owned by the superuser, deliv‐ > ery is made with the rights specified with the default_privs > configuration parameter. -- Regards mks _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
