Thanks,
Well, I was almost correct:-)
Mail looked for sendmail in /user/sbin which in turn, being the Apple version,
looked for the /etc/postfix config files.
So I now:
1. Removed the sym link from /etc/postfix -> /user/local/etc/postfix
2. Moved /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail.OFF
3. S

Tis is incorrect.
The mail program does not need /etc/postfix. The mail program
invokes a 'sendmail' program tha
There seems to be some confusion here. Sorry.
The build of postfix works fine, including sendmail.
At build time, the root directory is set to /usr/local so everything gets
installed in the right place at ‘make install’ time. Right where I want it. All
good.
Now on the other hand. Apple puts
My advice would be to keep the configuration directory as
/etc/postfix, but relocate all the binaries. That way
the system provided /usr/sbin/sendmail will still work,
despite being an older version of Postfix.

Sorry, when I said ‘moved’ I meant built with new install directories. As you

However, ‘mail’ got lost after I removed the Apple default /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

Thanks Luciano,
It works - of course. I probably did realise that but being in Christmas mode …
I forgot.
However, it’s kind of brute force really, and I’d hoped I could find a src for
‘mail’ and rebuild it to reflect my new setup.
ok. It’s reading everything fine now. Until the next time Appl

I’ve moved all my postfix binaries to /usr/local/bin and my configs etc to
/usr/local/etc/postfix
However, because ‘mail’ is installed by Apple by default into /usr/bin/mail,
if I now type
