resolv.conf

[Chris Trudeau]

There is no need to have multiple resolv.conf files...

The name system will only use the /etc/resolv.conf and postfix is not
cognizant of the resolv.conf external to the OS name calls...

The others are leftover residual from when you copied the directories to
create an inbound and outbound postfix instance...

All changes should be entered into the /etc/resolv.conf
