There are a few ways to get 'command usage error' from dbmail-smtp:
1. use dbmail-smtp -t and use the -t option twice, like so:
dbmail-smtp -t deliver-to -t To
2. use dbmail-smtp .... -m twice, like so
dbmail-smtp -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] -m box1 -m box2
3. use dbmail-smtp without any arguments
4. use dbmail-smtp with a non-existent switch (e.g. dbmail-smtp -i)
From you master.cf, I don't see anything wrong in the call to
dbmail-smtp..
You did do a postfix reload, didn't you?

ok, i seem to have figured out a way to reproduce the problem. when i send
email to 2 or more users on the same domain in the same email, I get the
usage error message from dbmail-smtp. For example, sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] causes a "FAILED DELIVERY" message
to be sent back to the sender with no email delivered to either of the user
accounts. However, if dbmail is hosting 10 domains and I send to 1
user/domain for all 10 domains in the same email, the email will be
delivered just fine to all 10 user accounts and I don't get any error
messages. Needless to say, this becomes a problem if I am handling a
company mailing list where all recipients belong to the same domain. Can
someone please help or let me know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
David

Hmm,
that looks alright.. strange
can you add -v to the command, like this:
dbmail unix - n n - - pipe -v
flags= user=dbmail:dbmail argv=/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d
${recipient}
perhaps you'll get some useful output. Please bear in mind that you'll
get lots of output!
Please also set DBMail's debug level to 5.

There's probably an error in your dbmail-smtp command. Please show us
your entry for dbmail-smtp in master.cf (in the postfix config)

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error? This is from the maillog
and I don't know how to go about tracing the problem. I just know I get
a
lot of these every day. Is there a way for me to make postifx/pipe spit
out
the exact command it's sending to dbmail-smtp so I can figure out what's
wrong with the syntax? By the way, I'm running
Postfix->amavis->spamassassin->postfix->dbmail I believe.
Thanks,
