I finally found this problem to be because there was a line in the postfix /etc/postfix/main.cf file which implimented a non-existent transports file. I don't know how this file got referenced. I hardle expect it was the fault of the installation (deb maintainer) as others have gone quite well before and since. -- The only two things that motivate me and that matter to me are revenge and guilt. -- Elvis Costello -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
