HI Wietse,
yes, I'm afraid that's true, these are the contents of that old directory (I renamed it and put a symbolic link to the sbin directory carrying the current executables): root@jerakeen:/usr/libexec/postfix/sbin.OLD# find . -type f -print | while read file; do echo -n "$file -> "; strings $file | grep mail_version; done | grep 3. ./oqmgr -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./fsstone -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./flush -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./tlsproxy -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./postscreen -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./bounce -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./postfix-script -> ./verify -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./smtpd -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./scache -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./showq -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./qmqpd -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./anvil -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./spawn -> mail_version=3.4.13 mail_version=3.4.13 ./qmgr -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./discard -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./lmtp -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./error -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./tlsmgr -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./trivial-rewrite -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./postlogd -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./virtual -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./local -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./pipe -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./postfix-wrapper -> ./nqmgr -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./proxymap -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./postmulti-script -> ./cleanup -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./pickup -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./dnsblog -> mail_version=3.4.13 ./smtp -> mail_version=3.4.13 I assume there has been a kind of new configuration between old postfix version and the 3.6.4 one. Do you have a listing of the directory /usr/libexec/postfix of a clean install?
