thank you for the feedback this sounds really good and i will give 2.10-devel a try as soon as i have my currently jobs finished, means in the days between christmas and new year i thought so because i am impressed of the quality of postfix at all and especially the way Wietses attitude to not break configurations not just for fun - as said some months ago: this world would be a better one if more developers would have this attitude - throwing things away and restart from scratch with all sorts of regressions is easy, a development like postfix have since many years is real quality thanks again for a real good application which works in a way you sometimes forget that it exists!
