Well, I have only one qmgr, so I don't care about that one.

Actually, lmtp does log the nexthop too, so I see the port number. That's
good enough for me.
And as Noel said, symlinks still work for smtpd. Probably until postfix
gets lmtp daemon functionality.

But the configuration would just be duplicated, except for that one
option. That's asking for trouble... or does the config file have
"include" functionality?
What is special about "syslog_name" anyway? The documentation doesn't
mention any differences from options that can be set on the command
line.
Apropos documentation: The man-page for lmtp says nexthop should start
with "unix" or "inet". I had "inet" in my 2.2 config, but 2.3 rejects
that and wants just the hostname or address...

MfG, Ulrich
