Transport table gone ?

By Xavier HUMBERT at 03/06/2010 - 10:29

Hello, I make rather heavy use of transport_maps as explained in
<http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#transport_maps> and in the
transport(5) section of the man pages.

Today I upgraded my dozen of servers to Postix 2.7 under FreeBSD 7.3,
and got the waring below :

Nevertheless, I carefully read the 2.7 Release announcment, there's no
mention of such a suppression.

Does it mean that I *must* use another routing mechanism ?

Thanks,

That's just a note that the sample file is no longer supplied
by postfix.

You're still free to use that name, or any other valid
filename, for your local transport table.

Perhaps that could be reworded to make it clear? As it is it does seem
to mean that the transport table file is no longer supported. it is
not ambiguous.

note that it says "files or directories". Nobdoy would say so but a
script (a human knows if it's a file _or_ a directory). so this is an
automatic packaging script issue. (it reminds me of the old: let N be
the number of wheels in car. oh those mathematicians:).

look at the path. This is FreeBSD specific. In fact, the file now is under
/usr/local/etc/postfix/dist/
but please do not modify this one: create yours instead.

the reference is the documentation, not installation script messages.

Please open a FreeBSD ports PR.
