Becoming a Postfix mirror site
In order to have your Postfix mirror site listed on the Postfix web site, please send mail to wietse@porcupine.org that answers the following questions.
Please note: Wietse often saves up the website updates for a week or more before going through them.
-
Timeliness: specify your mirroring frequency. Use a mirroring procedure that:
- runs as a CRON job
- runs least once a day.
