I have a couple of tables that Postfix checks as part of various
restrictions. One of those tables, the whitelist, gets items added from
time to time; a policy server adds the addresses to which internal users
send mail.
It gets checked in smtpd_recipient_restrictions thusly:
check_sender_access dbm:/etc/postfix/tables/whitelist
So far, so good. However, when the table gets changed, I see this in the
log ...
Jan 1 12:03:00 6C:tandem postfix/smtpd[1138585]: table
dbm:/etc/postfix/tables/whitelist has changed -- restarting
... and my questions are ...
Is this a big deal? Is Postfix's restarting an issue, either with resource
consumption or continuity of service?
Should I restrict the frequency of changes to the table?
I think it's cool that Postfix sees that things have changed and restarts, I
just don't want to wear it out.
Thanks.
