You know, one thing that you might want to do, just to firmly identify or eliminate one piece of this is to fully test whether Postfix is operating properly or not. One way to do that is to fire up Kmail or another email client, configure it to send via SMTP straight and then send a mail to yourself, [EMAIL PROTECTED] That should automatically bypass whatever relay is setup and deliver directly to your username account on the local machine. If you get the mail, then it means that Postfix is working. If you do not get it, it means that Postfix is definitely not working and you may need to try to work on it. One other item to try rather than trying to force an uninstall/reinstall of Postfix is to check the startup scripts in /etc/init.d. See if you have postfix.rpmnew files in there because it is possible that a new version needs to have some changes made to correctly start but I think that urpmi defaults to trying to leave the original scripts in place when you install new versions. I know that I have upgraded a couple of apps previously and found myself completely uninstalling and then reinstalling until I finally figured out that newer packages were changing the locations of some of the files and I just needed to alter the startup scripts to reflect the new locations. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
