changes in main.cf have no effect

Hi,

I added the following lines to the postfix main.cf:

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = mailserver

then restarted postfix with /etc/init.d/postfix restart

When I checked postfix, the changes were not in effect:

postconf -d | grep smtpd_sasl

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

Where does postfix get those information from?

Regards Sven

Maybe you've defined this directives within the first rows of your
config. Just have a look at the end - maybe they're configured
oppositional there.

Keep in mind: Always the last entry of the same directive in your config
is authoritative!

The smtpd entries are the last entries in the main.cf. I "graped" the whole /etc
directory for "smtpd" and only found the value in the main.cf and some postfix
sample files which are definetly not in use.

I still habe no clue.
