Does 'postconf daemon_directory' simply return info from the main.cf, or does
it query the running process to get exactly what is being used?
Yes, on MacOSX Server there are 2 entirely independent installations. The
standard Mac one plus the Server one. I know where they both are, but I cannot
find out which master has been executed. It's either in:-
/usr/libexec/postfix/
or
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/postfix/
It IS configured to use the Server version of main.cf
ps -ax | grep master
349 ?? 10:57.09 master -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix
and I am running the Server versions of postconf and postmap, but which version
of master is being run?
I am now thinking it is the Server version of master that is running, but I
cannot confirm that as I don't know how Server starts its processes. It cannot
be using the LaunchDaemon I've found as that is set to quit after 60 seconds.
Since I don't know how it is started, I can't be sure which master is running.
I've determined that the Server version is 2.5.5 and the Mac std. version is
3.2.2, but that doesn't help me confirm which master is running.
--later--
I've found how Server starts its processes. In the Server's directory tree
there's a ServerRoot/LaunchDaemons/ with a couple of plists. One is same idea
as std. Mac install, set to quit after 60s, but the other is set to run
permanently like for a Server, so I think that is what is actually running and
that is the Server version of master.
So I don't think anything is mixed. Everything is the Server version of postfix
- albeit a bit old.
Which still leaves the question of why emails to user@myhostname are rejected.
