Hi,

I’m afraid you’re going to have to do some of your own work here. You’ve got another router that looks at that file. I don’t know the intended purpose of either router. You may also have other systems looking at that file.

Remember, we’re all volunteers here!

You’re not going to break your configuration by removing the file. But somebody once thought it was a good idea to create it. If you want certainty, you’ll have to find out what that reason was. You won’t find it on this list.

Whether it does any harm elsewhere depends on whether the list, or the file, is consulted for any other purpose. Removing it could, for example, prevent local submission.
