Today is the first time I have paid any attention to CDB. In looking at it, questions come to mind: Is D.J.B. version 0.75 considered production ready or development? Is the new database created with CDB mv'd into place after it is created and tested or is the new one built to the file Postfix is reading? Wrt: "For the same reason the "cdb" map type cannot be used to store the persistent address verification cache for the verify(8) service" Isn't the verify service used to access the virtualaliases database I am using?
