Re: About your postfix problem (local mail delvery deferred until reboot)

Hi Adrien,
  That sounds like the same problem as I had/have. Are you running Deb
3 upgraded to Deb 4, and do you get the same log entries? (cant remember
the details, but they are in one of my earlier emails)?
I haven't had the problem since I modified the nsswitch.conf file and
took out some odd lines from the upgrade
  I still have no idea what causes this, but in the log file it claims
to be broken socket related, and this could tie in with dodgy PIDs maybe?

hope that helps
