So you configured it through debconf, in a non-default way, and it refused mails according to how you configured it. I don't see what the postfix package should have done differently here. It would be more confusing for it to ask you about how it should handle mail and then just not handle mail for you after that. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
