I 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.

Thanks,

-Adam

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
;;
esac

exit 0

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?
