okay I appreciate your input. here is my dilemma. OSX 10.6 comes stock with postfix 2.6 without LDAP support. I really like the ability to do ldap queries for local info and transport info (great feature). So what is the best way to upgrade? several people had mentioned " just use macports/darwinports/fink " but now I have two full instances of postfix on the system. not really what i wanted. Should I just compile from source and hope for the best. has anyone updated postfix with ldap support on osx ? sorry for obvious redundant questions. -j
