That's fine. The safest thing to do now is: apt-get install --reinstall postfix and if it doesn't offer you configuration choices again, you can do dpkg-reconfigure postfix Then inspect /etc/postfix/ to make sure everything is the way you want it; send some test mail in both directions, and so forth. -dsr-
