# dnf info postfix Last metadata expiration check: 1:43:17 ago on Fri 19 Mar 2021 02:06:32 PM CDT. Installed Packages Name : postfix Epoch : 2 Version : 3.5.8 Release : 1.el8 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 4.4 M Source : postfix-3.5.8-1.el8.src.rpm Repository : @System From repo : baseos Summary : Postfix Mail Transport Agent URL : http://www.postfix.org License : (IBM and GPLv2+) or (EPL-2.0 and GPLv2+) Description : Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA). So I guess it was compiled in the Postfix package. What are the ramifications of "smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords = chunking" vs "smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords = "? Is the package manager disabling BDAT by discarding chunking? Sorry, I'm not finding much info on BDAT. I'm not sure if a module is needed that isn't installed to implement BDAT or there is some other reason the package manager might have disabled it. Not sure if we need it or will need it in the future for some reason. Thanks for all your expert help!
