I have re-installed Postfix (using version 2.8.11 on openSUSE 12.2) and simply
reconfigured without many changes. I am still failing to determine where
postscreen is failing with the following errors:
Feb 12 15:29:01 server postfix/master[28061]: warning: process
/usr/lib/postfix/postscreen pid 28085 exit status 1
Feb 12 15:29:01 server postfix/master[28061]: warning:
