Just a little somewhat unrelated note.
Victor, before modifying postconf to accept -x option, think: -x stands
for execute, not expand. ;) My idea was to have `postconf -x someprog args'
to set up environment - export ALL configuration as env. variables, expanded --
and execute someprog with args. Just like `env foo=bar someprog args'. That
way, some postfix's tasks will be very trivial -- install, postfix check/start
etc, and many others. In other words, it's my vote that -x will not be used
to mean "expand" but be reserved for "execute". ;) Maybe -X?
Regards,
Michael.
