That is the case here. Since I don't like to delete anything (after an upgrade)
until I've ben running without incident for a while, I made the following
changes:
# mv /usr/local/etc/postfix{,.sav}
# ln -s /etc/postfix /usr/local/etc/postfix
I found that I had to change "postdrop" to "maildrop" in main.cf (the upgrade
had installed a maildrop in /etc/group; I tried changing things back to
postdrop without success; when I threw in the towel and changed back to
maildrop, Postfix seemed to start up.)

Sounds like that might be the case....

I will also note, for the record:
ares-root# find / -name postfix.sav -ls
754646 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Aug 16 21:14
/usr/local/etc/postfix.sav
165090 800 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 381366 Feb 4 2004
/usr/sbin/postfix.sav
So, let's see if I get this right:
1. I need to delete /usr/src/etc/rc.d/postfix, as it's likely starting up a
duplicate copy of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.
2. I should probably "rm -r" /usr/libexec/postfix; a quick listing shows all
files in there date back to 2004.
3. And then reboot, to be on the safe side.
Close? Anything else?
