Hi Angelo, I took the part about “ifconfig” to mean that the “mynetworks_style” parameter with the “subnet” parameter would *ONLY* work if the network configuration of the server was done via “ifconfig”. As you mention, “ip” replaces “ifconfig” so I was wondering if Postfix could still pull the network configuration if “ip” had been used to specify the network configuration Because man also mentions that this applies to Postfix < 3.0, I was wondering if the point was moot as this is not used on Postfix 3.1 and higher ? I also specify “mynetworks” manually, which man points out overrides “mynetworks_style”, but I ask the question to understand if I come across this on someone else’s Postfix configuration. Thanks, - J
