You don't know me or my background so please do not make assumptions. I know what server means in both contexts. I also know the generally accepted meaning of "dedicated server"... ...and when someone comes into the #postfix IRC channel (like they did earlier today) seeking help because they read that last sentence in the docs and thought, "I have a dedicated server, I should set that to 'enforce'." and I looked at that section of the docs and thought, "yes, that sentence is confusing", then it should be changed to be clarified or removed altogether (I don't actually think it will detract from those docs to remove it, but it will certainly avoid this confusion). ...or is it your contention that the docs should only be clear to people who were around in the 60's when the term "dedicated server" had a different meaning?
