No. Clearly not the case. Ubuntu is an example which interferes with Postfix. I'm trying to determine if others are more or less so. I suspect at least some surely must be less so. >>> Anything that interferes with that is not worth the effort. > >> Which do you use? > > Gentoo... OK.

Ubuntu works reasonably OK with everything else I've used on it. Problem exist with Postfix on it. They've said to address it with Postfix. I personally think the specific problems are more of how Ubuntu handles Postfix poorly. One issue (which may be part of the problem) is the Postfix package in Ubuntu being an older one. >>> If there are any known gotchas with specific OSes, these will be noted in >>> the documentation where applicable. > >> Does that include things like easier to maintain Postfix? ... doesn't >> interfere with Postfix?

Since the mailing list is the only real place with lost of Postfix experts, this must be the place. My question is a question about using Postfix. I thought this was the postfix-users mailing list. Or did my subscription get crosswired to the postfix-developers mailing list? > Ok, well, if you must have an answer, it is 42. Oh, I thought you were saying it was Gentoo. -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!
