I have a line in main.cf:

mailbox_transport = dbmail

Jesse, thanks for your response... That worked and postfix is accepting

It seems to be not calling dbmail-smtp for some reason, and I don't 
have any experience with Postfix, just testing it because it was 
documented for use with DBMail.  Nothing in the install setup seems to 
clearly specify to use dbmail _instead_ of the default delivery method...


Thanks,

These are the services running from Postfix:
root 13:51   0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master
postfix  13:51   0:00 pickup -l -t fifo -u -c
postfix  13:51   0:00 nqmgr -l -n qmgr -t fifo -u -c





 You mention The dbmail user can access the database ...,
but then have postfix running the dbmail transport as user
bin.  Is that the same user?  



Sorry, I was unclear about that :)  The dbmail binaries are installed
and run as bin:bin, but the database account is dbmail...




 Also, your master.cf entry has a 0 for the private field,
which offhand I don't know if that's valid.  All mine have
either - or n.  Try changing that to - and give it
a shot.  



That was that issue, postfix fires right up now.  Now I know that
even insanely verbose output doesn't catch everything.  My typo.
