The problem you're having with sysconfig isn't part of the upstream postfix distribution (and thus can't be supported here). You need to consult your distro support resources to resolve issues with it. You demonstrated that, as shipped, postfix solves your use case just fine. It's the distro 'improvements' that are the problem. You shouldn't expect an upstream list to know how to solve those problems. I'm the Debian postfix maintainer and part of why I'm on this list is to help with our distro specific issues. Scott K
