[Bug 1709504] Re: Postfix Files that shouldn't be writable.

 

As this was fixed in 3.1.4-1 in Debian, I believe this has been fixed
since Zesty.

Since the bug in Xenial is spurious warnings only, I don't think an
update is justified. If you disagree, feel free to make your case here.

** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Also affects: postfix (Ubuntu Xenial)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

  I've read on the Internet it is a known issue in this version of
  postfix.  Wondering if there will be an update to this problem in the
  3.1.0-3 Ubuntu:16.04/xenial package.
