That would be a problem. Looks like someone installed Postfix from a tarball, which the RPM system knows nothing about. There are 2 options. 1. Just get and install Postfix again. Go to a CentOS mirror, and get postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.i386.rpm and do a force install. 2. If you really want something newer than 2.3, build your own. Since CentOS doesn't provide Postfix 2.4.5 or newer, and you need an RPM installation of Postfix, I'd recommend getting Simon Mudd's SRPM and building it yourself. This might not fix all your problems, since it's possible the tarball installation put files in places different from the RPM installation. Frankly, if you can, I think you should rebuild the system. --Brian
