Jose / John - Yeah, I didn't think it quite through. After reading some of
your suggestions, I think I'm going to try to do the following in my
postfix manifest
service { 'postfix':
enable => $postfix::enablestatus,
ensure => $postfix::ensurestatus,
}
In Heira global.yaml, have those variables set to enabled and running. In
the Heira Zimbra server yaml, set those to disabled and stopped.
Thanks for the insight/suggestions!
