No, lmdb is fine, if that's what they want.
It is entirely up to you, "they" don't count :-) I have switched a number of systems back to bdb, so I wouldn't have to worry about having different database formats.
Going back means editing main.cf again.
You just install "postfix-bdb" and it is all done for you.
But the main.cf file lists lmdb entries: I would have to change all those,
No, postfix-bdb has a post-install script that does that for you.
and then on the next upgrade they could be changed again.
No, packages are not changed on upgrade. On upgrade, your "postfix-bdb" package might be upgraded, but not changed to "postfix".
Is there something that is creating and updating the lmdb files each time I update the text file?
No and there never has been. Postfix will warn you when a database file is older than the source.
No, see above (written later than this "good").
It is only being done to a limited set of databases, when postfix is restarted, provided you have it enabled in /etc/sysconfig/postfix. The list is also specified there. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
