    Hello,

    I have the following warning every 5 minutes in my mail.log:
    Code:
     postfix/smtpd[28447]: warning: match_list_parse: comment at end of line is not supported: #[::1]/128

    I have done some search to find then the code file that output this error, which is match_list.c from postfix, here is the mentioned error section:
    Code:
    while ((start = mystrtok(&bp, delim)) != 0) {
        if (*start == '#') {
            msg_warn("%s: comment at end of line is not supported: %s %s",
                 myname, start, bp);
            break;
        }

    and the function of this file is:
    Code:
    This module implements a framework for tests for list membership.
    The actual tests are done by user-supplied functions.
    
    Patterns are separated by whitespace and/or commas. A pattern
    is either a string, a file name (in which case the contents
    of the file are substituted for the file name) or a type:name
    lookup table specification. In order to reverse the result of
    a pattern match, precede a pattern with an exclamation point (!).

    and then found out that the file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd which ISPConfig automatically configured, was appended by a whitespace at the begging, which triggered this warning:
    Code:
    /etc/postfixsasl_passwd
    
         MyISCadmin:MyISCpass
    and according to the postfix documentation, the right syntax for this file should be:
    Code:
    mail.my-isp.org test:testpass

    Now should i manually configure this file and add my mail.server.url, or just ignore the warning?


    Thanks for your time in advance

    Did you enter the mailserver of your ISP under System > Server config > mail > Relayhost ?

    Oops, missed it.
    I've entered it now, but unfortunately the warning still persist.


    Code:
    postfix/smtpd[1874]: warning: match_list_parse: comment at end of line is not supported: #[::1]/128
    Oct 25 23:40:02 server06 postfix/smtpd[1874]: warning: match_list_parse: comment at end of line is not supported: #[::1]/128
    
    do you have any other idea where could be that match_list_parse file catching this error from?

    Hello Till,

    I found it out, the above fix was right.

    another function of match_list_parse.c is to check the syntax of postfix config files for old or depercted commands.

    I've had this line in my main.cf:
    Code:
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 #[::1]/128
    which was allowed in former postfix releases as the other part were compiled as commented out part, i mean the "#[::1]/128"

    but now it gives warning and should be either deleted or be used without "#".

    so my line now is:
    Code:
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128
    as i don't use IPv6.

    Thanks.
