Zitat von wie...@porcupine.org:

As per subject.
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#enable_long_queue_ids says:
"For safety reasons the vowels (AEIOUaeiou) are excluded from the
alphabet." In what way are vowels unsafe?

Postfix should not generate offensive text such as "fuckyoubastard",
neither in English nor in other languages. Removing the vowels from
the alphabet will avoid such problems with many languages.

We have been lucky that there are no reported accidents with the
old hexadecimal-style queue IDs.

I wonder if there are really people around who get offended by a "random" generator also generating offensive text... My only concern would be that the probabilty of getting a readable text should be so low that i never will see anything like this if it is really random ;-)
And yes, i'm aware of the monkeys...

Andreas
