huh? what relationship does that mini-rant have to what you quoted?
somebody wanted to know if postfix had default configuration values (it does,
as most things do). i answered his question, plus i told him about some
commands for seeing various views of the postfix config...BTW, the ability to
easily see/extract JUST the non-default settings is extremely useful for
problem solving. it eliminates the "noise" (default stuff), showing you only
the "signal" (what you've changed).
how do you get from that to whatever it is that you're ranting about?
