We are probably talking about the say thing. I was under the
impression that you meant for the OP to send only selected portions of
the output of 'postconf -n' rather than the entire output. The problem
is that so many users, especially those using 'virtual' addressing, or
anything to do with 'virtual', redact the file so badly that nobody
is able to easily spot where the problem is. To obscure a domain name,
when the poster is in fact using that same name in his/her email
address is ridiculous. In any case, the more complete the information
that is supplied is, the better chance of getting a satisfactory
response.
