Paul,
"This is getting a bit off-topic as regards postfix, being more to do with
shell commands and sysadmin skills. "
Almost, couple more days and I'll be done with it, lol
"That result means your command shell doesn't know where postconf is. Try:
'locate postconf' to find it. Then edit your PATH appropriately. "
it says: locate: can not open '/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' : no such file or
directory
hmm, looks like I just may be toast afterall....

This is getting a bit off-topic as regards postfix, being more to do with
shell commands and sysadmin skills.
That result means your command shell doesn't know where postconf is. Try:
'locate postconf' to find it. Then edit your PATH appropriately.
If you have a queue of mail you want to preserve, it might make sense to
archive that and arrange for your hosting provider to hold on to it. If you are
moving to a reprovisioned system, they could put it there. I don't know if
putting it in place and starting up postfix would cause it all to be (re) sent
or not.
