Yes, the login account shortname is simply 'ken'.
Case makes no difference and shouldn't. Anyway I've tried it all every which
way, so e.g. ken@Home, ken@HoMe etc all work fine. Any address using any case
variation of myhostname does not.
BTW, hostname returns MacServe.home
I am no longer sure which actual master is running. The launchdaemon.plist
shows it as:-
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/libexec/postfix/master</string>
However I now see that is the std. config for MacOS, and is set to watch for
mail, start up and process the mail and then quit after 60s. Obviously it is
not intended as a permanently running server process, so I don't think that is
what Server actually runs, but so far I've failed to discover how Server starts
its processes. That LaunchDaemon plist is probably disabled, but I find
launchctl a PIA to deal with and I can't seem to make it tell me what is
enabled and what is not.
The server versions of Postfix are from 2018, whereas the std. install is 2020.
I know it is supposed to be using the Server main.cf, but not yet figured out
how to determine the actual file that was executed. Can postconf return the
path to the executed master?
If a new M4 Mini is launched this week, that will be the route to release a
spare (older) Mini on which to install debian or FreeBSD. Not yet sure which,
but I can finally dispense with MacOSX Server altogether.
