Use make(1) to machine-construct your main.cf files in such a way that the common files are stored and edited just once. Postfix does not attempt to solve this problem, because it is solved by other existing tools. -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Please let me know if you need any other details. Here is a complete example of how to maintain multiple main.cf files that share common content. Contents of /etc/postfix-shared/makefile: = /etc/postfix1/main.cf: /etc/postfix-shared/main.cf main.cf-private cat /etc/postfix-shared/main.cf main.cf-private /etc/postfix1/main.cf postfix -c /etc/postfix1 reload /etc/postfix2/main.cf: /etc/postfix-shared/main.cf main.cf-private cat /etc/postfix-shared/main.cf main.cf-private /etc/postfix2/main.cf postfix -c /etc/postfix2 reload Command to update Postfix: == $ cd /etc/postfix-shared $ vi main.cf $ make More details in the make(1) manpage. It is available since 1976 or so. Wietse
