I am not (yet) running any external services so there is no website.  I own 
the domain ravenhome.net (dydns) and have several registered hostnames as 
well.  I am thus far only using the name to permit me a unique host+domain 
name for my mailserver.  When/if I ever manage to get a broadband connection, 
I'll consider the other stuff.

In any case, I didn't realise the change in postfix occured between 8.2 and 
9.0.  All is fine now that I edited the jailed resolv.conf. That is a rather 
kludgy security fix.  I don't like redundancies as a rule as they are 
wasteful and inelegant.  I hope this can be addressed in a future postfix 
iteration.
