I went through google and through the archives of postfix-users, but
have yet to understand the consequences of this statement:

# trap decode to catch security attacks
decode: root

This is default postfix, aliases. Now there are some people who say
that's bad for security.
The wording says it is a trap; some say it's dangerous (to have uucp at
all). Should I remove that entry and keep the trap ? I am sure
everything is there with a reason.
Could someone point this out to me, please ?

Uwe
