[00:02:26] *** LordLamer has quit IRC
[00:02:36] <lennard> being a postmaster really is a shitty job these days
[00:02:54] <jeev> certificate verification failed for edge1.choicepoint.net[66.241.37.242]:25: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Entrust.net/OU=www.entrust.net/CPS incorp. by ref. (limits liab.)/OU=(c) 1999 Entrust.net Limited/CN=Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority
[00:02:56] <jeev> is that my fault
[00:02:57] <jeev> or theirs ?
[00:03:25] <adaptr> they don't trust the issuer
[00:03:35] <jeev> i dont? or THEY dont
[00:03:40] <adaptr> is it backed by verisign or somesuch ?
[00:03:45] <jeev> mine is self signed
[00:03:53] <adaptr> then no, they don't trust it
[00:03:54] <lennard> jeev: is it a smtpd-log or a smtp-log?
[00:04:05] <jeev> ok, cause it looks like mine is denying it
[00:04:08] <jeev> is what a smtp-log
[00:04:14] <jeev> that's what my maillog shows me
[00:04:43] <dam85> thanks everybody
[00:04:44] <dam85> bye bye
[00:04:48] *** dam85 has quit IRC
[00:05:00] <adaptr> I have to concur with lennard on this one
[00:05:03] <sobriquet> hey now... dont hate on spammers... they're only trying to make a living.  Everyone is entitled to try to make a living.
[00:05:08] <adaptr> he was very good
[00:05:08] <lennard> and I bet it has smtp(d)?[0-9]+: in front of it
[00:05:22] <adaptr> sobriquet: spammers should be executed withotu parole
[00:05:30] <adaptr> you're barking up the wrong tree here
[00:05:31] <lennard> heh
[00:05:37] <jeev> you think the 20 dollar godaddy cert is good enough ?
[00:05:42] <sobriquet> pretty hard to earn parole when you're dead adaptr
[00:05:47] <lennard> I'd like to see executing with parole
[00:05:52] <adaptr> jeev: if theirs is backed by a roto CA, yes
[00:05:56] <adaptr> *root CA
[00:06:42] *** LordLamer has joined #postfix
[00:07:16] <jeev> hmm

[00:09:42] <adaptr> how do you know ?

[00:12:55] <jeev> look at the actual loaded cert
[00:13:41] <lennard> I think go daddy is usually recognized
[00:15:06] *** pulsar has quit IRC
[00:16:46] <pickcoder> Starfield Services
[00:16:53] <pickcoder> is the root CA
[00:17:26] <pickcoder> unless I'm reading it wrong
[00:20:49] <pickcoder> I don't see how they can sell certs for $20 and still have to perform the usual company investigation
[00:20:53] <pickcoder> s/company/ident
[00:21:29] <jeev> oh
[00:21:33] <jeev> hey do the basic stuff
[00:21:37] <jeev> no check
[00:21:41] <jeev> they took the price to $30 !
[00:22:05] <lennard> *ponder*
[00:22:09] <lennard> to drink more beer or not to
[00:22:16] <adaptr> more beer!
[00:22:20] <adaptr> no-brainer
[00:22:37] <jeev> oh well
[00:22:40] <jeev> 3rd attempted passed i thnk
[00:22:42] <jeev> the mailserver took it
[00:22:57] * pickcoder would rather have marqaritas
[00:23:04] <jeev> alcohol is for LOSERS!
[00:23:13] <adaptr> jup, that's me
[00:23:13] <cafuego> liar
[00:23:20] <jeev> i dont drink
[00:23:21] <jeev> ;)
[00:24:05] <cafuego> not knowingly, I'm sure
[00:24:15] *** alibo` has quit IRC
[00:24:16] <cafuego> most fruit juice ferments a little bit after opening
[00:24:24] <jeev> ;)
[00:24:36] <pickcoder> hopefully it's not consumed @ 50 proof of more
[00:24:40] <pickcoder> s/of/or
[00:24:52] <cafuego> if it is, death would be a good indicator ;-)
[00:24:56] <pickcoder> (unless it's homemade wine..)
[00:26:22] *** quieteyes has left #postfix
[00:26:50] * pickcoder has always wondered if real fruit juice is in Mt Dew due to its amazing open-bottle shelf life
[00:27:26] <cafuego> pickcoder: I can confirm real fruit juice doesn't taste like crap, unlike mt dew
[00:27:26] <jeev> hey
[00:27:28] <jeev> you guys watch
[00:27:31] <jeev> Little People, Big World
[00:27:32] <jeev> those little guys
[00:27:38] <jeev> they used to take up half of the basketball courts at the YMCA
[00:27:39] <jeev> for like a year
[00:27:42] <jeev> i used to always get mad at them
[00:27:46] <pickcoder> cafuego: meh.. I do the Dew.
[00:27:48] <jeev> but on their tv show, i like watching it
[00:27:51] <jeev> they ALWAYS drink mr. deww
[00:27:54] <jeev> who the fuck drinks mt dew?
[00:27:57] <jeev> that was when we were <10
[00:28:06] <jeev> i dont thin anyone in california drinks mountain dew
[00:28:10] <lennard> I don't know, I think they don't sell it here in .nl
[00:28:15] <cafuego> i think it's somewhat more popular in the states than elsewhere
[00:28:28] <pickcoder> Sundrop is popular here in the south
[00:28:30] <lennard> except after going through customs at the airport - and then only some of the time
[00:28:37] <pickcoder> I need the caffeine
[00:28:40] <cafuego> seems to mainly be water + sugar
[00:28:49] <cafuego> pickcoder: for caffeine there is coffee
[00:29:01] <pickcoder> no one can make coffee here and I don't like making it
[00:29:09] <pickcoder> besides it gives me heartburn
[00:29:27] <pickcoder> Maybe one day I'll try Bawls
[00:29:28] <cafuego> nexium ftw
[00:29:56] <cafuego> pickcoder: if you're in the us i'll have to agree on "no one can make coffee here" ;-)
[00:30:19] <lennard> I hear the huge mugs we have at the office are a result of that
[00:30:23] <pickcoder> my wife worked at a coffee bar so I usually let her make it
[00:30:25] <jeev> oh my god i'm missing TOM LEYKUS
[00:30:54] <lennard> americans cant make proper strength coffe, therefor they need huge mugs, then we get to use those and put it full of normal coffee
[00:31:07] <cafuego> lennard: Mugs are fine, as long as you fill them with say 8 shots of espresso and NOT a single shot of grey water.
[00:31:44] <lennard> cafuego: what countrys defenition of espresso? :)
[00:31:50] <cafuego> lennard: italy
[00:31:57] <lennard> hmm
[00:32:03] <lennard> thats porbably overdoing it a bit :)
[00:32:13] <cafuego> what we call a "short black" in .au
[00:32:16] <lennard> but, yes, definatly better than gray water
[00:32:26] <lennard> grey*
[00:32:33] <lennard> I think
[00:32:42] <lennard> ugh, too tired to properly speak english :P
[00:32:57] <cafuego> Zeg maar gewoon grijs dan.
[00:33:28] <lennard> suer, that works :P
[00:39:10] <lunaphyte> coffee is vile, and tom leykis is an ass-clown. :)
[00:39:40] <lennard> meh, both coffee and beer are just facts of life
[00:39:50] <lennard> although beer probably is the only one I drink too much of
[00:40:12] <lunaphyte> agreed, unfortunately.  beer falls in the same category for me as coffee.
[00:40:44] <lennard> which means you don't drink too much of either?
[00:41:05] <adaptr> I'm getting confused - beer also invokes ass-clowniness ?
[00:41:53] <lunaphyte> lennard: none for me, thanks.
[00:42:06] <lennard> heh
[00:42:27] <lennard> principe, common sense, disgust, or allergy?
[00:42:51] <lunaphyte> hmm.  2 and 3, i think mostly.
[00:42:59] <lennard> mmkay
[00:43:14] <lennard> I sometimes consider not drinking beer
[00:43:30] <lennard> its just easier to drink it though :P
[00:43:55] <cafuego> and a fair spot cheaper than say martinis
[00:43:59] <adaptr> instead of considering ?
[00:44:20] *** pulsar has joined #postfix
[00:44:39] <lennard> drinking is easier than both considering and not drinking :P
[00:45:02] * adaptr sets the topic to #achtervoegsel
[00:45:15] <lennard> ... achtervoegsel?
[00:45:19] <lennard> wth is that about :P
[00:45:31] <adaptr> does this even resemble an english channel anymore ?
[00:45:56] <lennard> dunno, it does seem to be the leading language :)
[00:46:29] <lennard> thats partially because most dutchies secretly consider the language superior over their own, I suspect, though
[00:46:47] <cafuego> I sure don't.
[00:47:01] <adaptr> I'm used to it
[00:47:23] * pickcoder would talk in binary if it wasn't so time consuming
[00:47:28] <cafuego> I speak it every day, but also every day I find english somewhat limiting compared to dutch.
[00:47:46] <lennard> you do?
[00:47:49] <adaptr> pickcoder: I will speak binary way sooner than you speak dutch
[00:47:49] <cafuego> if only those damn new hollanders would all learn it.
[00:47:57] <adaptr> yes, manhattan--
[00:48:15] <pickcoder> adaptr: you can be sure of that too
[00:48:20] <cafuego> that's new amsterdam, i think you'll find
[00:48:32] <adaptr> cafuego: isn't that where most of them..congregate ?
[00:48:40] <lennard> most times when I encounter limits I cannot for the life of me figure out a proper dutch description for an english word
[00:48:53] <lennard> then again - I hardly ever actually *speak* English
[00:48:55] <cafuego> adaptr: no, new holland is more widely known as australia these days ;-)
[00:48:56] <lennard> only type it
[00:49:41] <adaptr> lennard: I speak English every day - to an Indian programmer, whose English is waay worse than my - well, pick any language I don't speak
[00:49:58] <lennard> oh boy
[00:50:05] <lennard> I have people to do that for me
[00:50:25] <lennard> not much better though, they can only relay their best guess-work of the conversation to me :)
[00:50:34] <adaptr> well, he's only 10 feet away, having someone do that for me would be rather inefficient

[07:08:06] <drummerboy> hi
[07:09:47] <drummerboy> i try to install postfix and dovecot on debian 4 and use this howto (which refers to this channel): http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/index.html.en#checking-the-user-s-maildir (i use the german version)
[07:11:07] <drummerboy> in the section ?Checking the user's maildir? it says there should be a folder /home/vmail/example.com/john (in my case it's a real address)
[07:11:35] <drummerboy> but there?s no folder for the domain, and therefore no subfolders, too
[07:12:31] <drummerboy> this howto says if anything goes wrong i should run ?postfix check?, so i did this
[07:12:50] <drummerboy> it says:
[07:13:00] <drummerboy> postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/lib/libnss_compat-2.3.6.so and /lib/libnss_compat-2.3.6.so differ

[07:13:05] <drummerboy> what can i do?
[07:13:37] <drummerboy> (i'm relatively new to server administration and linux o:-) )
[07:15:07] <f3ew> copy the files from /lib ionto /var/spool/postfix/lib
[07:20:07] <drummerboy> done. postfix check returns nothing, which seems to be good
[07:20:55] <drummerboy> but was this the cause for the folders to not be there?
[07:21:04] <f3ew> send the user an email
[07:22:27] <drummerboy> done
[07:22:44] <drummerboy> i have 2 accounts in the user-db
[07:22:58] <drummerboy> i sent a mail to both of them
[07:23:29] <f3ew> now see if the maildirs exist?

[09:53:58] <tobias-> i'll try it ;)
[09:54:00] <tobias-> thx
[09:54:24] <sysmonk> i thought you want postfix to send from one ip, but the 'sendmail' binary itself - from another :)
[09:54:34] <sysmonk> that's not possible without seperate instances
[09:54:47] <sysmonk> but if you want all mail to be sent from some ip - then it's possible with smtp_bind_address

[10:55:47] <gstaniak> is there a way to use a milter (any pre-queue filter) so that postfix would dynamically decide whether it will allow relaying mail to a specific domain?
[10:57:35] <rprasad> what do you want to acheieve
[10:57:45] <rprasad> may not really require a milter
[10:59:11] *** Juspion has joined #postfix
[11:01:57] <gstaniak> rprasad: well, as i said i need to dynamically decide whether to relay or not. specifically, i need to to check whether the postfix machine is configured as an mx for this domain, and if it is so, allow relaying.

[11:15:40] <deface> and yes, stupid way
[11:15:57] <deface> for starters, having a mobile postfix setup ... stupid
[11:16:13] <deface> use the mailx package from your distro
[11:17:25] <rprasad>  gstaniak:  thats a waste of resources , whay cant you have a relaydomains file , if I may ask
[11:20:03] <gstaniak> rprasad: long story. large mail server at an isp that used to be mx for a lot of domains is being phased out. i want the server to not relay as soon as it is removed from the mx list of a domain, without having to manually modify the relay_domains list a lot of times
[11:20:49] *** idle-boy has left #postfix
[11:21:44] <rprasad> u would better do a cached copy of relaydomains. Send 451 to all domains you dont have in relaydomains
[11:21:57] <rprasad> then parse logs and populate the relaydomains
[11:21:58] *** idle-boy has joined #postfix
[11:22:01] <rprasad> after MX lookup
[11:23:12] <rprasad> else you would have to have real code at a milter
[11:25:51] <gstaniak> rprasad: you mean using an external tool? something that would regularly go through logs, check for recipient domains, check if the server is listed as an MX for them and then re-populate the relaydomains list?

[11:43:06] <pendlaren> deface: thanks. I installed postfix as a test since I have some trouble with the smtp-server at work, and usually smtp-servers doesn't allow relaying if you're not on the inside of their network...
[11:45:23] <pendlaren> deface: So instead of having alpine (mail client) try a list of smtp servers, I thought I perhaps could let postfix do that job in the background
[11:46:04] <deface> sound redundant to me
[11:46:07] <deface> sounds*
[11:46:21] <deface> your just using sendmail, not postfix
[11:46:27] <deface> ie. mail is not delivered to your laptop
[11:46:36] <deface> your just using the sendmail binary
[11:46:42] <pendlaren> ah... yes, that's correct, but I thought postfix was a sendmail implementation?

[14:50:25] <robtone_> right.
[14:51:18] <mrfree> lunaphyte_, which problem in particular?
[14:52:10] <lunaphyte_> i guess if it were me i'd fix all of them.
[14:53:36] <mrfree> lunaphyte_, I noticed other local clients (windows) doesn't work... probably because they use their netbios name

[14:54:12] <lunaphyte_> i'd imagine so.

[14:55:49] <mrfree> I'd like to disable  reject_unknown_sender_domain  for sasl-auth users
[14:56:10] <lunaphyte_> why on earth would you do that?
[14:56:20] <mrfree> reject_unknown_helo_hostname
[14:56:37] <mrfree> ops I think it should be the prob
[14:56:37] <mrfree> :)
[14:57:42] <lunaphyte_> are you saying that you mean reject_unknown_helo_hostname rather than reject_unknown_sender_domain?
[14:59:00] <mrfree> yup, I've added reject_unknown_helo_hostname to smtpd_helo_restrictions I think it could be useful for the other smtp server but the client
[15:01:37] <mrfree> can I add something like permit_sasl_authenticated *before* reject_unknown_helo_hostname in the smtpd_helo_restrictions?
[15:01:48] <mrfree> to skip this check for my users client...

[15:02:11] <knoba> lunaphyte_: "tias" : Try It And See
[15:02:23] <mrfree> lunaphyte_ :)
[15:04:19] <mrfree> lunaphyte_, I mean... adding permit_sasl_authenticated in the smtpd_helo_restrictions has effects only for smtpd_helo_restrictions or can it be evaluated in some risky matter?
[15:04:21] <mrfree> manner
[15:06:27] <jra> just use smtpd_recipient_restrictions and forget about the rest
[15:09:11] <mrfree> reading the logs I found a lot of smtp server sending their hostname (without domain) for the help
[15:09:12] <mrfree> o
[15:09:23] <mrfree> I think I should disable this restriction
[15:11:14] <jra> I think I stop >80% of spam just with reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname

[18:52:04] <cedric33> i use postqueue -p to flush all mail but nothink
[18:52:10] <cedric33> i have the same numbers of mails
[18:52:24] <Trengo> you mean -f dont you?
[18:52:25] <roe> postqueue is also "site" aware, however I am not sure how sites are assigned
[18:52:52] <cedric33> sorry yes postqueue -f

[18:53:20] <Trengo> maybe its undeliverable spam
[18:53:31] <Trengo> look at postqueue -p ?
[18:53:52] <cedric33> i use qshape -s  i see the domain name it's a good domaine name not a spam
[18:54:02] <cedric33> when i see with postqueue -p i see the good mail
[18:54:35] <cedric33> i see amavis-new have 100% of CPU to check if it's a spam or no
[18:56:19] <roe> depending on your hardware and rules, that could be completely normal
[18:56:43] <Trengo> look at postqueue -p it should show the reason why its not delivering
[18:58:00] <cedric33> Trengo : i see but i have not a error
[18:58:13] <cedric33> 78739B8318*   60868 Thu Nov 20 13:24:11 .... not error

[19:10:49] <cedric33> roe : ho thanks
[19:11:28] <roe> I do not know what "sites" mean, you will probably have to read some documentation

[19:20:19] *** Zeit|awy has quit IRC
[19:21:38] <roe> I would say an update to an sa rule may be the cause to your performance issues, there is a timing flag to send to amavis to see where it is getting stuck, but again, I forget... I need to start making notes for myself

[19:26:16] <cedric33> beucause me i have not
[19:26:23] <roe> granted I don't run a virtual mail setup, but I still would like to think I would have heard of it
[19:26:48] <lunaphyte_> as i recall, it was intended more for etrn related operations.

[20:25:28] *** modelnine has joined #postfix
[20:27:47] <modelnine> Is setting "local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps" bad/broken? Why? (I know it's "broken", because I'm seeing infinitely queued mails destined for the $mydestination domains) I'm trying to setup a system that will only accept mail for the names defined in the alias table[s], which are all themselves destinations to external hosts.
[20:28:01] *** hever has quit IRC
[20:29:55] <modelnine> Just to add to that: the destination address for the account in the alias map itself is a relaydomain (and defined in a map queried relay_domains), and has an entry in the transport_maps table.
[20:30:42] <roe> lunaphyte_, I fully admit that I could solve my own issue, I was just wondering if someone else already solved my issue for me :)
[20:31:42] <bpgoldsb> I have a postfix 2.3.8 server using Dovecot's LDA.  This server has user foo and alias bar.  foo is a member of the alias bar.  When I send an email with recipient 'foo' and 'bar', foo's mailbox gets two copies.  Both copies in the mailbox are identical (verified with diff -u file1 file2).  This wasn't the behavior on my older Postfix 2.1.x setup (which used Maildrop).  Anyone know why it might be different?
[20:35:27] <cedric33> i have a last question i see on the log i have more mails of one virtual domain can i check the number of  mail i receiv  for this  day please
[20:36:01] <modelnine> cedric33: try a grep "@mydomain>" | wc -l
[20:36:06] <modelnine> on the mail log.
[20:37:49] *** TGM has quit IRC
[20:38:24] <cedric33> thanks
[20:40:05] <cedric33> i think with qshape i can do it . With grep ... i can have an line of 13d.fr but error or other i am not shure it send line email
[20:41:31] <modelnine> cedric33: you can. Simply check for the actual line format you want to find (signalling a successful delivery), tack that into a regex, and do a wc -l.
[20:41:42] <modelnine> I didn't say that "@mydomain>" would be sufficient. :-)
[20:42:15] <cedric33> :)
[20:42:26] <cedric33> ok  i add regex thanks

[22:09:12] <shabbs> so, I'm having this interesting issue with a gateway mail server. it does spam and virus checking through amavis (sa/clamav) reinserts the message on 10024 and then forwards either inside or outside depending on which way the mail goes.
[22:09:42] <shabbs> the problem is that seemingly randomly messages coming in get deferred
[22:09:58] <shabbs> then at a later date when the queue retries they go through
[22:10:20] <shabbs> so sometimes people get 3-4 messages all at once that they should've received 20 minutes ago
[22:10:32] <roe_> get defered from amavis or from the destination server?
[22:11:01] <shabbs> the log says "conversation with [internal server] timed out while sending end of data"
[22:11:13] <roe_> on the 10024 port?
[22:11:41] <shabbs> I'll pastebin the log of a message from start to finish
[22:13:02] <shabbs> http://pastebin.com/m7e8de3a0
[22:13:55] <pickcoder> PIX
[22:14:31] <shabbs> we've checked the fw config, first off it's version 8.1 or 8.3 second there is no smtp fixup
[22:15:08] <pickcoder> it's timing out with the 10..10.10.3 machine not amavis
[22:15:13] <pickcoder> s/../.
[22:16:16] <shabbs> any other setting that would affect mail through pix?
[22:16:31] <pickcoder> when it resends using the PIX work-around it goes through
[22:19:00] <shabbs> there are several messages in the queue that seem stuck permenantly. juding by the from address they're spam anyway, but they have the same timed out message, and no matter how many times postfix retries they still end up getting deferred
[22:19:22] <pickcoder> !smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time
[22:19:23] <knoba> pickcoder: "smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: How long a message must be queued before the PIX firewall "<CR><LF>.<CR><LF>" bug workaround is turned on.
[22:19:43] <pickcoder> 0 makes it active upon first attempt
[22:20:41] <pickcoder> default is 500s queue  time
[22:21:00] <shabbs> I'll give it a try
[22:22:20] *** BuenGenio has joined #postfix
[22:22:44] *** BuenGenio_ has quit IRC
[22:23:02] <pickcoder> if the deferrals are constantly happening then you should see an immediate effect if that's the problem
[22:23:42] <pickcoder> you can put the queue on hold and then release it to flush the queue and reset the queue timing
[22:23:57] <pickcoder> you still have to restart postfix though
[22:26:28] *** FFForever-BNC has joined #postfix
[22:26:47] <FFForever-BNC> what do i put for  tls_random_source?
[22:27:25] <shabbs> yeah, I restarted and flushed, now I'm waiting to see if they'll end up back in the deferred queue. what seemed odd was that it wasn't happening to all messages. there'd be stretches for like an hour where all messages would go through immediately
[22:27:43] <shasta> FFForever-BNC, why do you want to change the defaults for your system?
[22:28:13] <FFForever-BNC> i get this error =\ Nov 19 14:09:20 mail postfix/smtpd[25081]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: dev
[22:28:30] <FFForever-BNC> its dev:/dev/urandom
[22:28:45] <shasta> once again, why did you change the defaults?
[22:29:10] <FFForever-BNC> i didn't the idiot before me did....
[22:29:14] <shasta> (and the error is pretty much self-explanatory)
[22:29:24] <FFForever-BNC> whats the default
[22:29:52] <jra> depends on where you compile
[22:30:01] <FFForever-BNC> its an ubuntu server
[22:30:17] <jra> then it's dev:/dev/urandom
[22:30:31] <FFForever-BNC> thats what it is....
[22:30:53] <shasta> man 5 postconf will tell you how to get the defaults
[22:31:42] <shasta> oops, my bad, man 1 postconf
[22:32:49] *** UQlev has quit IRC
[22:35:22] <shabbs> hrm, just had a whole bunch of them go back in the deferred queue
[22:36:09] <shabbs> and this last one has delay=0.07
[22:36:19] <shabbs> so somethin ain't right
[22:37:26] *** FFForever-BNC has left #postfix
[22:38:29] <pickcoder> what is smtp_pix_workarounds set to?
[22:39:39] <shabbs> according to postconf -n it's not because it doesn't show up, but according to the config file disable_esmtp, delay_dotcrlf
[22:40:05] <shabbs> but it also didn't show in postconf -n when I specifically set it to nothing, which I found odd
[22:40:50] *** scort has joined #postfix

[23:54:47] <SARGuy> have an interesting problem... i have mail coming into PF, which is configured to lookup all address' in the virtual address table...  problem is, some work, some don't.  i.e. I can send a message to aaa at domain dot com (located in the virtual address table) and it's good..  send a message to bbb at domain dot com and it's returned as "unknown in virtual alias table"..  send a message to ccc at domain dot com and it ends up in a loop to the front end server...
[23:54:58] <SARGuy> ideas?  more explanation needed?
[23:55:51] <hyper__ch> SARGuy: is bbb at domain dot com in the virt table?
[23:56:08] <SARGuy> no.. sorry...  in that example, only aaa at domain dot com is in the table
[23:56:19] <SARGuy> so aaa@ and bbb@ work correctly..  ccc@ doesn't
[23:57:18] <hyper__ch> well, I'm not really familiar with postfix... I thought I'd just ask the obvious thing.... sometimes I get lost in details so much that I forget about obvious things :)
