I setup my server with the hostname "berkeley" and installed everything i needed including postfix and courier-imap. I have since changed the hostname to "server" which was the name of my previous 5.2 release server (i had problems with the new berkeley hostname.) Anyway, i see in the output of postconf that there are two settings that appear to be dependent on the hostname, namely: berkeley_db_create_buffer_size=16777216 and berkeley_db_read_buffer_size=131072 Since the hostname changed to "server", shouldn't these now be server_db_create_buffer_size=16777216 and server_db_read_buffer_size=131072?? If so: 1:)Could this be the source of my errors appearing in maillog(see below)? 2:)What do i need to do? - Reinstall postfix?
