Hi list,

A quick timeline;

1. Installed 2.0.16 from ports to /usr/local/etc/postfix. Everything works.
2. Attempted upgrade to 2.1 using 'make upgrade', which installed to
/etc/postfix. Old one still running and working from old localtion.
3. After consulting this list, did make makefiles
CCARGS='-DDEF_CONFIG_DIR=\"/usr/local/etc/postfix\"', then make
upgrade. 2.1 now running and happy, but /etc/postfix still exists.
4. Couple of days later, I rename /etc/postfix to
/etc/postfix.should.be.ok.to.delete, and everything grinds to a halt,
with these in the maillog:

Apr 9 13:20:36 gate postfix/pickup[8635]: fatal: open
/etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
Apr 9 13:20:37 gate postfix/master[1557]: warning: process
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/pickup pid 8635 exit status 1
Apr 9 13:20:37 gate postfix/master[1557]: warning:
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/pickup: bad command startup -- throttling

Obviously something is looking for main.cf in the wrong place. Can
someone tell me where I should look to correct this?

Thanks,
Adam
