Thanks Luciano, It works - of course. I probably did realise that but being in Christmas mode … I forgot.
However, it’s kind of brute force really, and I’d hoped I could find a src for ‘mail’ and rebuild it to reflect my new setup. ok. It’s reading everything fine now. Until the next time Apple updates to OS, and their version of postfix/mail overwrites everything in the postfix folders again. I just hope the Apple version doesn’t overwrite everything in /usr/local/etc/postfix by following the link… Now that would be a disaster cheers Robert > On 27 Dec 2018, at 12:53, Luciano Mannucci <luci...@vespaperitivo.it> wrote: > > On Thu, 27 Dec 2018 12:19:34 +0000 > Robert Chalmers <racu...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I’ve moved all my postfix binaries to /usr/local/bin and my configs etc >> to /usr/local/etc/postfix >> >> However, because ‘mail’ is installed by Apple by default into /usr/bin/mail, >> if I now type >> >> mail robert >> >> I get, >> >> robert$ unknown: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory > You might whish to link -s /usr/local/etc/postfix /etc (postfix > installation does that if asked to). > > Cheers, > > Luciano. > -- > /"\ /Via A.
