I just wanted to point out the philosophical differences from the postfix perspective, and thought that it was important that this be made explicit. > 20001001 is the most current which Wietse is now running and > stating that it is 'production quality'.

No, 20001005 is the latest snapshot I know of, and appears to be what Wietse is running himself: $ telnet spike.porcupine.org. 25 Trying 168.100.189.2... Connected to spike.porcupine.org. Escape character is '^]'. 220 spike.porcupine.org ESMTP Postfix (Snapshot-20001005) quit 221 Bye Connection closed by foreign host. However, I would not be too surprised if what he was running is actually slightly later than this (i.e., another snapshot in progress), and it just identifies itself as Snapshot-20001005. > Why not consider the use of the mysql interface which > provides dynamic aliasing? The machines where I run this code don't strictly need a MySQL interface for aliases. Although we do keep our internal aliases in a MySQL database, I do not believe that it is in a format that would be suitable for use with postfix, and therefore I'd have to create yet another MySQL database that *was* in the proper format. This would likely lead to synchronization problems, etc.... -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
