Hi Tom,

Well it's just annoying.  I have a backup file of main.cf that I was able to compare
against what YOU ended up creating.  So it wasn't a big deal to fix the problem.

However,  I had about 6 mail lists ( via mailman ) that went broken for nearly a full
12 hours.  YOU ( or Postfix ) or added a relay_host line in main.cf for me.  For god sake,
if I wanted one *I* would have put one in.

I am a bit of a night owl,  plus it's only 11:18PM on the West Coast in the U.S. :-)
