There might be some sort of clue there. In my case, it had to do with alias.db. Cliff pointed out that my problem indicated a bad install. I haven't gotten back to it yet to try to fix it----but look at the maillog and see if it's something like that. Then, go into postfix and look at where it's mapping things--it might be mapping it to /etc/alias.db when you actually have the alias.db file in /usr/local/postfix HTH a little Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
