It's not that it's a problem.. i know the data is innocuous, but there's
always some users who like to check the configs.. and browse around, see for
what domains i treat mail.. i just don't want to give them that
pleasure/possibility :) I asked this on the list because i didn't want to
disrupt the mail system, since this box is in production.. i just wanted to
be sure it would be ok or not ok before doing it.
