IMHO, and not specific to Postfix, too many issues come from not following standards and relying on software or tools that silently correct non-standard behavior. Then something is changed and stops the silent correction and doesn’t behave as expected or, as in this case, errors on the non-standard behavior. Do it right and then you won’t have to work around the problem again when the next change is made. -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com http://www.stonejongleux.com/
