Using syslog is against the OpenPKG rule of 100% self-containment and
especially breaks support for multiple OpenPKG (and Postfix) instances
on a single machine (which we use a lot). So the Postfix package has
to log to a file under <prefix>/var/postfix/ in OpenPKG. But you can
easily build a Postfix package with syslog support. Just remove the
fakesyslog-related things from the postfix.spec. That's all.

I think this could be wrong permissions. Perform a "chown cw" in your
case on the postfix.log. Or look at the logging level in the main.cf.

OpenPKG consistently uses Berkeley-DB across packages because although
the dbm/ndbm API is supported by most Unix platforms the underlying
hash file format is far away from being portable and equal. What is
the reason why you dislike DB and want to use DBM? If you insist, just
replacing the HAS_DB stuff in postfix.spec with HAS_DBM should do the
trick.
