And yet, you could have avoided this entire messy saga by running Postfix on
Debian stable (Lenny) instead of Debian u n s t a b l e (SID).  Why exactly do
you desire to run a production Postfix server on Debian SID?  They call it u n s
t a b l e for a reason Anthony.  You've just experienced that reason.

If your answer is that you need features available in Postfix 2.6.5 that aren't
in 2.5.5, then you should be running Lenny and installing Postfix 2.6.5 from
Wietse's source package, _not_ installing u n s t a b l e to get Postfix 2.6.5.

Now repeat after me 100 times:

"Debian-stable is for production, Debian-SID is for tinkering and pulling
one's hair out."

P.S. Forgive my space expansion of SID's branch name.  The list admin filter
doesn't like the first 3 letters of that word in succession.  Apparently it
thinks those 3 letters mean the sender wants to leave the list or something.
