Sorry, when I said ‘moved’ I meant built with new install directories. As you point out below. However, ‘mail’ got lost after I removed the Apple default /etc/postfix directory. Apple’s default mail is built to look for /etc/postfix, so with the link now in place it’s working ok. mail thinks it’s looking at the default /etc/postfix directory.
I decided to build into /usr/local ..., because I got fed up with Apple installing its own rubbish postfix version over the top of my build every major upgrade. Anyway, all is well for the moment. ----- Robert Chalmers https://robert-chalmers.uk aut...@robert-chalmers.uk @R_A_Chalmers > On 27 Dec 2018, at 1:17 pm, Wietse Venema <wie...@porcupine.org> wrote: > > Robert Chalmers: >> >> I?ve moved all my postfix binaries to /usr/local/bin and my configs etc to >> /usr/local/etc/postfix > > When you BUILT Postfix, you forgot this part from the INSTALL file: > > 4.6.1 - Postfix 3.0 and later > > All Postfix configuration parameters can be changed by editing a Postfix > configuration file, except for one: the parameter that specifies the location > of Postfix configuration files.
