Yes, that's exactly it. I create the domain, give out the postmaster acct to the customer and he calls back saying it won't let him change things. I go back and look, and sure enough the postmaster acct does not have administration rights to it's own domain. For months I've been adding domains and only recently has it begun to do this. I can manually go in after the creation and click the checkbox on the postmaster acct to make it the domain administrator but there must be somewhere that it's set as default.
I haven't upgraded anything so I can't imagine why this suddenly stopped working...
