Hi again,
        Sorry, my thoughts ran ahead of me. I do need to fix this, so
I am guessing that the log indicated that launchd had started Postfix
- is this correct?
        What results could be the consequence of leaving Postfix
running as it currently is on my system?
        I have only recently upgraded my OS from OSX 10.3.9 to 10.4
(then to 10.4.1) I now see that there is no startup item for Postfix,
so I need to re-add that & also an entry for the mailserver into
/etc/hostconfig
        I will add the startup item & hostconfig entry & see what
happens from there.

        Bye for now, Terry Allen
