These arguments are getting sillier and sillier. I'm asking why it
doesn't work in a plain-jane do-nothing normal public box not behind
a NAT. And every argument so far has been some strange
configuration that is very customized in various ways.
FWIW I've run SpamAssassin on a bog-standard, normal, plain, old-
fashioned FreeBSD box sitting in a rack with a public IP, no NAT, no
patches, and no pixies or faeries. Auto-detection worked fine.
I'm confident I could replicate the effect however many times I liked,
but I can't give you any hints or tips on how to achieve that because it
Just Worked out of the proverbial box.
I'm not making an argument for TRUSTED_PATH working or not, and I
certainly don't want to get dragged into this conversation - I'm just
saying that it works for me in the very scenario you say it's broken.
Maybe I'm a fluke case, I don't know and don't really care, I'm just
passing on my personal experience.
Having an AOL moment... Me too!
I have been watching this discussion with interest, but don't feel able
to contribute to the debate in any sensible fashion.
However, the repeated claims that the auto-detection is 'broken' in out
of the box installs kept grabbibg my attention.
The auto-detection worked fine for me 'out-of-the-box'.
I have since manually configured the trusted networks to allow for some
down-stream hosts that are part of our organisation. But even without
that I have never had ALL_TRUSTED misfire on me.
(I am not a Postfix user and here I am replying to myself!)
I should also add that I am not in a NATed MX environment.
