Thanks for the info. Any idea about the following settings in main.cf?
I can't find any info about them at www.postfix.org in the docs section.
sendmail_path =
newaliases_path =
mailq_path =
Do I set these to /usr/pkg/sbin/sendmail?
Do I set them to the appropriate /usr/pkg/sbin/postalias (postqueue)?
do I set them all to /usr/sbin/sendmail (link to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper)?
I tried setting them all to /usr/sbin/sendmail. Postfix starts up OK
without complaining,
but no mail comes through. If I shut it down and fire up the old
postfix, all my mail comes in.
Thanks,
