I think Sun and many other distributions are chiming in that they WILL switch to postfix pretty soon, perhaps doing as jmb says and having both systems in place would be a good idea for a while, i'm sure if postfix gets a lot of bad press people will want it removed, but it's nice to have the latest and greatest, instead of a year later everyone whining about NOT having postfix in the base system. -Alfred oh, btw, how do i figure the size passed into an ioctl from the handler? :) > > Now is not a good time for a -core member to be demonstrating personal > bias over established convention with regards to the FreeBSD source tree. > > -- > \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith > \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au > \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org > \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
