Ah, thank you for the clarification. Perhaps "are no longer part of the default Postfix install. If you are not using them, they may be removed."? -- Something wonderful, if you took the long view, was about to happen. If you took the short or medium view, something horrible was about to happen. It's like the difference between seeing a beautiful new star in the winter sky and actually being close to the supernova. It's the difference between the beauty of morning dew on a cobweb and actually being a fly. --Reaper Man
