Yeah my production systems are red hat.
Thanks - also pcre isnt something postfix allows by default. Or doesnt
seem to be to me, seems like this should be regexp ? pcre didnt work on
my super basic/default postfix 2.16 install.  I notice when installing
postfix 1 on freebsd it asks me to compile pcre in, eg its not enable by
default.

I know NOTHING about perl - is it possible to make that file hashed
instead, so its usable by the most people? or am i waaaaaaay off?
