> I don't see readon to reboot servers periodically. I have 2 reasons, neither having anything to do with postfix:
1) If you are using a filesystem type that wants to be checked every 180+ days, you will want to do a controlled reboot when YOU want your server offline for a while, not when Thor, God of Storms and Lighting, or Loki, god of Chaos decides. They have enough say anyway. 2) Some administrators see a big uptime and start to defer patches unless "really necessary" because they want to win uptime wars. Both of these can be mitigated by a policy of "no more than 182 days uptime" On Thu, Oct 11, 2018 at 2:23 AM Matus UHLAR - fantomas <uh...@fantomas.sk> wrote: > >> We just started using let's encrypt certs in our mail servers.
