Nothing in the Postfix documentation mentions a different behaviour if the line in the last one of main.cf. If this is still actual, Please paste your main.cf file, and the result of "postconf", in your non-working configuration (i.e. with mail_spool_directory not at the very last line of main.cf). But i think i'm rather sure it's not a postfix bug nor a gentoo ebuild bug. [falco:/etc/postfix.dist]# tail main.cf # sample_directory = /etc/postfix # readme_directory: The location of the Postfix README files. # mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail/foobar #foobar readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.5.1/readme [falco:/etc/postfix.dist]# postconf -c /etc/postfix.dist mail_spool_directory mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail/foobar |
