Paul, "This is getting a bit off-topic as regards postfix, being more to do with shell commands and sysadmin skills. "
Almost, couple more days and I'll be done with it, lol "That result means your command shell doesn't know where postconf is. Try: 'locate postconf' to find it. Then edit your PATH appropriately. " it says: locate: can not open '/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' : no such file or directory hmm, looks like I just may be toast afterall.... Could be, however try this.. find . -name postconf -print T ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Beard<mailto:paulbe...@gmail.com> To: gc<mailto:gcam...@fighting-images.com> Cc: <postfix-users@postfix.org><mailto:postfix-users@postfix.org>> Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 10:56 PM Subject: Re: postfix relay - command line not working .

That result means your command shell doesn't know where postconf is. Try: 'locate postconf' to find it. Then edit your PATH appropriately. If you have a queue of mail you want to preserve, it might make sense to archive that and arrange for your hosting provider to hold on to it. If you are moving to a reprovisioned system, they could put it there. I don't know if putting it in place and starting up postfix would cause it all to be (re) sent or not. -- If this was a real .signature it would be more interesting
