Yes, but it adds information in the case where smtpd_access_maps IS NOT listed in the Postfix parent_domain_matches_subdomains configuration setting. The problem occurs when smtpd_access_maps IS listed in the Postfix parent_domain_matches_subdomains configuration setting. What the man page says in THIS case is: "The pattern domain.tld also matches subdomains" where the pattern domain.tld can be ".twitter.com" for instance. I don't think there is anything wrong with my reasoning. > If it is unclear, ask for clarification.

So, I couldn't say that it was unclear. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
