docs/71529: (Strongly!) suggested change to listed address for postmaster@

[Jonathan M Bresler]

The following reply was made to PR docs/71529; it has been noted by GNATS.

From: Jonathan M Bresler <jmb at bresler.org>
To: Peter Pentchev <roam at ringlet.net>
Cc: David Wolfskill <david at catwhisker.org>, bug-followup at FreeBSD.org,
	jmb at FreeBSD.org
Subject: Re: docs/71529: (Strongly!) suggested change to listed address for
 postmaster@

 Actually, I would recommend removing my name, Jonathan Bresler, from the
 documentation regarding postmaster.  David has been fulfilling that role
 very well for a significant period of time.
 
 I have left myself in the /etc/aliases file, as a backup should David have
 questions or be unavailable for some reason.  At this point perhaps that
 is no longer needed as well.
