Yes, MacOSX Server was never great, progressively got worse then they dumped it, but such a server ends up with 2 versions of postifix installed. The more standard one (/etc/postfix, /usr/libexec/postfix,/usr/sbin/) and the 'special' MacOSX Server versions in the above directories prepended by /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot.
I have tried to stick to the Server versions, but I now see I am running the std. master, with the daemon_directory and config_directory set to the Server versions. So I think it is a little mixed and I should probably try and move it all to the std. install and try and ignore all the Server special versions. That has long been my intention, but I just didn't want to do it yet. However the mail loop that was flooding the network required action and that has now ceased. So no longer such a priority.
