Description Rickard Andersson 2002-03-14 19:49:37 UTC
I think the information at the end of the latest postfix ebuild script is a bit 
confusing:

"NOTE:  Be sure to update /etc/postfix/master.cf to the latest version or else 
postfix will no longer work."

I didn't upgrade from an earlier version and was confused as to what I was 
supposed to do. Perhaps it should be more descriptive. Something like:

"NOTE:  If config file protection is enabled and you upgraded from en earlier 
version of postfix you must update /etc/postfix/master.cf to the latest version 
(/etc/postfix/._cfg????_master.cf). Otherwise postfix will not work 
correctly."
