Arghhhh! My usual approach to OS X upgrades is to first clone the disk and upgrade the copy as a test. I must have done my test rebuild of Postfix on the clone, saw that it was functional but missed the logging issue, then when I upgraded for real, never rebuilt Postfix since the old version built under El Capitan ran fine. Rebuilding 3.1.1 under Sierra also uses the new MacOS logging so fell back again to the El Capitan built version. > If you have a pre-Sierra MacOS/X machine, perhaps building 3.1.4 there > and copying the binaries will yield the same behaviour you see with > 3.1.1? I do but it’s all the way back at Mavericks (10.9.5). I recently recommissioned an old MacBookPro (I never could get it to upgrade beyond where it is) to use as a Fax Server since Sierra discontinued support for USB Fax Modems. At some point, I’ll try building 3.1.4 there and see what happens and if I can move the built files. But, I’m probably good with 3.1.1 for a long time. My Postfix is no longer Internet facing (I used to run my own mail server but now have that contracted out to an ISP) so I just use Postfix to get internally generated email (including the aforementioned fax server which emails incoming faxes) out to my ISP. -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com
