THIS THREAD IS CLOSED.

If you have a specific use case in which you need guidance to configure
Postfix, please start a new thread, without the polemics.

If you just want to vent, please do it somewhere else.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.

That is why I stated originally, for my specific problem case I will be
writing in another thread. I am still collecting debug info so I haven't
sent that mail yet. Because I have to interact with another mailhost,
out of my control, it's slow going.

Vent? Did you read my messages? I am not venting. I am asking a
legitimate question (to which I could not find previous resolution on)
and furthermore I resent your use of the words "polemics" and "vent"
in reference to my emails on the subject.

You are being dismissive which is totally unfair.
