Yes Apple can be inclined to rely on older versions of some of their included software. Probably sticking to what worked at the time, but then it becomes out of date. My Mac Mini Server is a 5,3 (Mid 2011) running the latest OSX it can which is High Sierra 10.13.6. So yes, out of date, but it still does (mostly) what I need so didn't want to spend time on it until replacing it with something newer that won't be running MacOS.
The dates I reported for the versions of postfix are just the file creation dates and not definitive, but shows me that the 2 installs are different. Then I showed the software versions which confirmed it. The Mac Server version is the older one. As I said, this server will soon be replaced by something not running MacOS and with the latest postfix, but I started this topic as I hoped to find a simple fix to a minor configuration problem and improve postfix operation for me in the meantime. However, natural curiosity and desire to know more has meant spending far more time on this than intended, but I would still like to find the solution.
