You sometimes refer to /etc/mail and sometimes to /etc/postfix. You probably want all postfix related files to be in /etc/postfix. If your main.cf refers to /etc/mail, change it to refer to /etc/postfix. If you have /etc/postfix/access but no /etc/postfix/access.db try running "postmap access" and then restart postfix. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
