Welp. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=postfix+main.cf+syntax+ipv6&ia=web kicks https://www.postfix.org/IPV6_README.html as the first result and it's referenced from https://www.postfix.org/documentation.html as _IP Version 6 Support_ It would have helped me if that doc was referenced from https://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html#syntax or in the sample main.cf. Generally speaking instead of repeating yourself a canonical syntax document is something I look for, maybe that's not your jam. Respectfully... -- Fred Morris, internet plumber __
