Did I miss something?
No, not really (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.postfix.user/248500) ...No, I'm using MULTI_INSTANCE simply because it seems cleaner to me than a single monolithic setup, and that that's the recommended basis for the choice. From http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html "Since there is no single right way to configure your system, we recommend that you choose what makes you most comfortable. If different Postfix services don't involve incompatible main.cf or master.cf settings, and if they can be combined together without complex tricks, then a single monolithic configuration may be the simplest approach. The purpose of multi-instance support in Postfix is not to force you to create multiple Postfix instances, but rather to give you a choice. Multiple instances give you the freedom to tune each Postfix instance to a single task that it does well and to combine instances into complete systems." Eventually I'll add other features as I migrate from the original 3 servers. Piecewise, instance-by-instance made sense to me. So I've broken it down into pieces, and am working one getting them working one at a time. Roger
