There are modified postfix .cf files. I don't want to just use a
modified postfix file, I want to user postconf to do the
modifications. And I am not experienced using things like diff to
work out what changes were made from the base install files.
Can anyone lend some expertise in identifying the mods so I can work
this up as postconf commands?
Why? If you're just going to paste in changes it doesn't matter too
much if you paste in a pre-made .cf file or if you run a bunch of
postconf commands.
For the past 3 years I have been running with a setup based on:
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-fedora-14-x86_64
Here the postfix changes are done via postconf, so I CAN tell what
changes are made and understand what is going on.
Better to learn why each line is there, and why. And most
important, if *you* need it.
Kind of my point. What changes is the author of the tutorial really
making so I can understand why.
http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html
main.cf parameters and their defaults are documented here:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
Generally, only parameters that differ from their default should be
included in your main.cf.
Again, what I want to get to. Understand what changes the author made
to the defaults. Looks like I will first have to learn how to
understand the output of diff.
