Should I Clear Edits From Postfix main.cf Before using Sys Admin email setup?

1

I am using FreePBX Distro 10.13.66-21 very successfully. I have just moved from slow as molasses static business DSL which allowed port 25 usage to higher speed cable, non business class dynamic IP, which blocks port 25.

When I first setup email for my voicemails and etc.,I didn’t have the commercial System Admin module and had to add email manually editing postfix’ main.cf and etcetera.

SInce port 25 is blocked, I now need to use something else and gmail fits the bill. So before I start trying the Email Setup in System Admin, should I take my main.cf and other modified files for manual postfix setup back to their default? I ask becasue it seems freepbx will over write them anyway…??

Thanks for any info!

Should not be necessary to clear edits. You may wish to keep a copy before System Admin writes out changes.

@lgaetz Thank-you! Good idea to keep a copy, but figured best practice was to clear my edits. Easy enough to edit again should the need arise.
