Adding additional postfix server to init daemonI just have created additional postfix servers on the mail server and would like to add the additional configs into the init daemon but looking at the scrip from LaMont Jones I am not able to decipher where to put the additional servers. I have an old script which is shorter and does not have a lot of the extra codes as the newest one. Does anyone have an idea as to add additional postfix servers? I am a bit perplexed.

Do I understand you correctly that you're running two (or more)
instances of postfix?
This is what I use on Sarge for two instances. It's easily expandable
to handle more. You'll see the config dir for the second instance
is /etc/postfix-out:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start or stop TWO Postfix Instances
# Assumes first instance config files are in /etc/postfix
# and second instance files are in /etc/postfix-out
#
# For Debian Linux 3.0.
#
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/postfix
NAME=Postfix
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting mail transport agent: Postfix"
$DAEMON start 2>&1 |
(grep -v 'starting the Postfix' 1>&2 || /bin/true)
echo "."
echo -n "Starting mail transport agent: Postfix-out"
$DAEMON -c /etc/postfix-out start 2>&1 |
(grep -v 'starting the Postfix' 1>&2 || /bin/true)
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping mail transport agent: Postfix"
$DAEMON stop 2>&1 |
(grep -v 'stopping the Postfix' 1>&2 || /bin/true)
echo "."
echo -n "Stopping mail transport agent: Postfix-out"
$DAEMON -c /etc/postfix-out stop 2>&1 |
(grep -v 'stopping the Postfix' 1>&2 || /bin/true)
echo "."
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/postfix {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1

Thank you. That was a script I had used in the passed and worked very well. Sadly I don't know much about programing or the like but what is the difference with this one and the standard postfix init script maintained by the Debian package maintainer?
