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!
Ken
