Derek,

Show us the PROGRAM that can determine which config is correct
for a system.

Heck, you don't even have to write the program if you're not a
programmer.  Just tell us the rules that should be coded.

Look, we'll make it easy for you.  You don't need to worry about
the whole system.  Just one package?

Just one config file in that package?

Just one line in that config file?

But then, I already asked you which of my /etc/postfix/main.cf's
is correct - the one with "inet_interfaces = loopback-only" or
the one without.  And you didn't answer.

Because you can't answer.

Because there isn't an answer.

Your PROGRAM does not exist and cannot exist.

I don't dispute your ability to dream about your impossible
program, but please do so somewhere else.
