Noel, I had thought as much. I think the problem with the old box is the filesystem. It's a RH 3.x series box, with that stupid "hybrid 2.4/2.6" kernel. I justed wanted to confirm so I can document the process of changes for the client when I rebuilt the box Sunday.
Gary PS: Sorry for top posting. OWA doesn't have a good way to do it. ________________________________________ From: Noel Jones [njo...@megan.vbhcs.org] Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 10:46 AM To: Gary Smith; postfix-users@postfix.org Subject: Re: Hash file oddity Gary Smith wrote: > A client uses hash files for transport and access on a couple relays.

Other file types may require a "postfix reload" or may be picked up "eventually". See the docs for that specific file type. http://www.postfix.org/postfix-manuals.html -- Noel Jones
