Yes, /etc/postfix/main.cf was read as broken by webmin-0.80 apparently
because the hostname wasn't loaded into the file--just left for a default
which may not have been read correctly by webmin.
I set up a test sequence.
1. touch /etc/postfix/webmin
2. put the hostname in and clear the #
3. do 2 plus the next general parameter

Anyway, after going back to webmin having performed step 2 and a sync, the
whole configuration presented itself for modification. Prior to that, it had
said the config file had errors and I must edit it by hand.. Setp 3 was
never necessary to be perform.
