Greetings all. I'm stumped. I've got a nice new dual core AMD system built with FreeBSD 8.1

I've got Postfix, amavisd, clam and TLS working (root signed certificate)
At least it was - now I can't even load postfix.


When I do a "postfix start" I get the following error:

    line 615: missing '=' after attribute name: "3"

When I examine line 615 I do not find the "3" there -- I find this:

    # newaliases_path: The full pathname of the Postfix newaliases command.
    # This is the Sendmail-compatible command to build alias databases.
    newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases

Line 615 is the middle line above -- '# This is the Send...'

I do not know what is wrong. I'm using putty as an editor to ssh/telnet into the box. This is driving me nuts. I think it has something to do with my environment but I don't know what. I have my term set as xterm-color and I can see the full range of colors from putty.

Shift + the number 3 yeilds a '#' sign - why does my system see a '3' instead of a '#' (remark) sign?

I have this problem with the whole main.cf file.
Thanks for any help you might provide.

Zen.
