Samples can be taken into the logfile when starting the daemon with "-vv"
3. AUTOMATIC STARTUP
--------------------
In order to avoid the startup of the daemon on an unconfigured machine,
automatic startup, on boot, is disabled by default. To enable it just edit the
file /etc/default/postfwd and set the "startup" variable to 1.
