Postfix on Panther Server
Good things to know if you support Postfix on Mac OS X Server (Panther):
- postsuper is your friend. The most common recurring problem I seem to have with Postfix is it getting out of control when some corruption occurs in it’s queue. The postsuper command will let you delete specific messages from the queue, or the whole queue with the “postsuper -d ALL” flag.
- Postfix is started by the Watchdog service. You can temporarily disable it at startup by commenting out the postfix line in /etc/watchdog.conf.
- Don’t ever use Apple’s Server Admin to edit your mail settings if you have done anything custom to your setup, because it will inevitably overwrite your main.cf and master.cf files.

There is infact a trick to do changes in the main.cf and master.cf files. If you make sure to include the changes in the files main.cf.default and master.cf.default the changes will get copied when doing changes with Server Admin. There two files are like templates that Server Admin uses.
