AFAIK, Postfix has never distributed such files. This must be an artifact of your package management system. > If I understand you correctly, applying upgrade-configuration should > be all I need to do and parameters such as smtpd_delay_reject = yes > should be in 2.8.2 without explicit inclusion in main.cf.

Like I said, 'smtpd_delay_reject = yes' is the *default*, so you do not need to explicitly set it anywhere. Unless you set it to 'no' in your main.cf, you do not have to do anything. To be sure you have the desired setting, see the output of 'postconf smtpd_delay_reject'. And also note that this setting has been the default since well before 2.7.2. > I suppose that I can remove main.cf.new and main.cf.default.new, > correct? I would think so, but leaving them there is likely harmless. -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@freebsd.org>
