Can you ssh into webextra ? I don't see your username in passwd.
Mails from bacula I remember already getting them (or maybe they
were only from the server side?). The bacula configuration on
the server side is under a local git repository, would it help
if I pushed that into a private Gogs repository for review ?
I wouldn't know how to reduce verbosity of those mails to just
receive urgent ones (errors or warnings).
As per postfix changes (probably unrelated to the added noise),
they don't have a clear effect to me. For example, this one:
myhostname = lists.osgeo.org
-myorigin = $myhostname
+myorigin = osgeo6.osgeo.osuosl.org
Why was this change needed ? How does it affect mail delivered by
mailman ?
And later, adding backup.osgeo.osuosl.org to mydestination, why
was it needed ? Does it go togheter with the addition of
`bacula: root` alias ?
Other safe changes should probably just be committed as they are
(welcome to mantra whisperers, btw!)
