I now have only the original. I'm still getting the same messages from launchd [code] bash-3.2$ sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist launchctl: Error unloading: org.postfix.master ?? something broke? bash-3.2$ sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master OnDemand -bool true bash-3.2$ sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist nothing found to load [/code] ?? Does that mean, no changes found? > FYI, my Mac here runs a working postfix mail system, so it's perfectly > feasible. I haven't upgraded to Lion yet. Looking forward to it. In the meantime, I also executed the following: bash-3.2$ sudo postfix check postfix: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: mydomain_fallback = bash-3.2$ sudo postfix start postfix: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: mydomain_fallback = I find no reference to `mydomain_fallback' in man postfix, man postconf or in main.cf itself. I gotta say, even tho' I have used postfix for years, I've done minimal trouble-shooting (if any) on ubuntu, so I'm a total noob here.
