Description
Dear Readers,
I got the following log entry for postfix:
postconf: warning: /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf: support for parameter "smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file" will be removed; instead, do not specify (leave at default)
postconf: warning: /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf: support for parameter "smtpd_use_tls" will be removed; instead, specify "smtpd_tls_security_level"
For sure, only a warning, but overall, maybe it make sense to update the postfix configuration and delete these old entries?
Any Idea, thought?
Best regards
Helmut

Research direction
Start by locating the Postfix configuration that produces /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf, then inspect the entries for smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file and smtpd_use_tls. Update the configuration as described in the warning and verify that postconf no longer reports these deprecation warnings.
