I discovered the problem. One of my soon to be EX associates updated some applications on the machine last night. One of them being cyrus-sasl2 port. They failed to compile either mysql or bdb support into the program. Once I became aware of the problem I simple recompiled the port and now all is well with the world again. -- Jerry ✌ postfix-u...@seibercom.net _____________________________________________________________________ TO REPORT A PROBLEM see http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail TO (UN)SUBSCRIBE see http://www.postfix.org/lists.html
