On a clean machine which had not been running postfix previously - i
installed and started postfix with default configs without error.
This suggested something changed in the configs which I missed somehow.
Looking in configs it is clear that the variable
daemon_directory
has changed and needs to be updated on existing installs or postfix
won't run (see below).
Existing installs need to ensure to change it in main.cf
to be:
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix/bin
Default previously was without the '/bin' on the end.
I do note that there are shared library files in /usr/lib/postfix but
all executabled have been moved to the '/bin' subdir.
