refactor(postfix): remove unused "filter" lmtp service#1022
Merged
Conversation
It looks like the reason it exists in the default configuration is an example for <https://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html> Using this filter requires configuration such as "-o content_filter=filter:dummy" and we don't have it.

The process doesn't seem to be running on nine, probably because nothing calls it:
