After some more time looking at the issue, I think whats happening is I missing some important lib/app that sends the info from balsa's gui "To:" to postfix(or however that works). But I could be wrong, To give you a better idea of what I have, is this: I constructed an LFS system starting with a blank dir, and then slowly adding to it until it was bootable, and usable. Now when it came time for a mail client I decided to try balsa with postfix as the mta. Which at first seemed like a nightmare, but really isn't that bad. But back to the no recipients found, I tested out balsa and postfix yesterday with a intrepid install on another box, and everything seems to be fine. Which then leads me to believe that somewhere in my building of my lfs system I missed some important library/header/something that make the mechanism work with postfix(or so I think). As a test I loaded alpine, and the result were good, "works like a charm" sends/receives like there was no tomorrow. Overall I think what I'm going to do is just use alpine/pine on the lfs system, and balsa/postfix on the other box. This way on the lfs system I don't have too many daemons running, and I don't have to break my back trying to figure something out that's way over my head.(although I should of followed the instructions completely, instead of leaving things out.) But if its some simple xml/sgml/mime thing then I guess I have to give it a go again, but probably not the next few days(back hurts, time for a beer). regards, -- Justin P.
