You can have #comment at the start of a line in hash:/etc/postfix/network_table (http://www.postfix.org/postmap.1.html). You can have #comment at the start of a line in main.cf (http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html) You can't have comments in "/file/name" (because http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html does not say you can have comments here). You can't have comments anywhere else. (because http://www.postfix.org/postmap.1.html and http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html don't say that you can have comments there). Wietse
