It's possible to run seperate instances of postfix on a single host (provided
postfix is configured properly) To make it work the init scripts need to pass
the "-c /etc/postfix.alt/" parameter. So what I did was to modify the init
scripts to work like the openvpn scripts for multiple instances.
/etc/init.d/postfix will start postfix from the normal dir (/etc/postfix)
then make a symlnk
/etc/init.d/postfix.gate will start postfix from /etc/postfix.gate
and so forth
There are no changes in /etc/conf.d

Modifies /etc/init.d/postfix to support multiple instances like openvn script
does
This is closely related to the /etc/init.d/openvpn script.
It was a copy, paste, tweak job
Hi David,
i implemented it in postfix-2.5.0 and 2.5.1. Please try and report if there is
some trouble. Thanks for the idea and the patch.
