This is a vendor issue. They need to make up their mind. > So, is this expected behavior that those always default to > /etc/postfix unless told otherwise? The default configuration direction is set at compile time. Apple can set this to any directory of their choice. Are you sure there isn't a second copy of the various binaries in an Apple-specific directory? The MAIL_CONFIG environment variable overrides the compiled in default. > $ postconf config_directory > config_directory = /etc/hiWietse That's not right. Don't manually override config_directory in main.cf.
