It's possible that the assumption is that you get everything working properly before creating an startup process. There are different options depending on what you want to use postfix for - if you're just using it for sending mail from an application you don't have to do as much as using it as an inbound MTA. Have a look through the Postfix documentation at http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html to work out what you need to do for your needs. s/ -- My CV: http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Twitter: @sfgreenwood
