I'd like to offer one other suggestion, in case you like it, too. Taking
a page out of pkgsrc, I keep /etc/postfix/Makefile:
all: aliases.db virtual.db
aliases.db: aliases
/usr/sbin/postalias aliases
virtual.db: virtual
/usr/sbin/postmap virtual
reload: aliases.db virtual.db
/etc/rc.d/postfix reload
start: aliases.db virtual.db
/etc/rc.d/postfix start
The advantage being that after changing something, I just say "make
reload" and everything works.
