If I follow the advice from /usr/ports/mail/postfix/pkg-message which states: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, you will want to disable some Sendmail-specific daily maintenance routines in your /etc/periodic.conf file: daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO" -------------------------- The reports stop completely. > However, some items in those scripts are no longer needed if you move > away from sendmail(tm).

Before I did this I didn't have a periodic.conf at all, relying on the scripts, which generated these errors: Jan 16 03:01:01 postfix postfix/sendmail[2177]: fatal: unsupported: -bh Jan 16 03:01:02 postfix postfix/sendmail[2178]: fatal: unsupported: -bH Any thoughts?
