.... no errors in system messages file, no errors in maillog, no errors in
dmesg system buffer.
I've thrown in 3 different main.cf from other postfix boxes, which should have
thrown lots of errors in maillog, no change, no errors, no master ever.
I've totally cleaned out postfix and all config files, and did new make in dir
postfix-current.
Leaving the virgin, unconfigged, distributed main.cf and editing postfix-script
just to add -v -v. same results.
