IIRC $tls_random_source is a left over from the time when TLS was a patch and OpenSSL wasn't able to find out itself where it would find random. (I think I recall Lutz Jänicke, developer of the TLS patch, telling me this) These days OpenSSL is able to determine which random source it wants to use. This might explain why it is empty in a Postfix install on Mac OS X, since it isn't required anymore. p...@rick -- All technical answers asked privately will be automatically answered on the list and archived for public access unless privacy is explicitely required and justified. saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
