[Bug 801496] [NEW] postfix postmulti cannot open dynamicmaps.cf

[gsauthof]

Public bug reported:

When using postmulti to create a new postfix instance, I get following
error on Ubuntu 10.04:

# postmulti -I postfix-instance2 -G privategroup -e create
postfix: warning: dict_open_dlinfo: cannot open /etc/postfix-instance2/dynamicmaps.cf.  No dynamic maps will be allowed.

A workaround is to create a link to the global dynamicmaps.cf, since
usually it is not instance specific:

/etc/postfix-instance2# ln -s /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf

See also: http://old.nabble.com/Error-in-postmulti-td26424171.html

The purpose of dynamicmaps.cf is explained in:
https://groups.google.com/group/mailing.postfix.users/browse_thread/thread/4c4c00180149929d/fee036b26d1e47b2

This Bug is related to Bug #624522, because this is another multi
instance issue.

Please fix it, such that a default dynamicmaps.cf is created when
creating a new instance via postmulti.
