Hi folks, OS Debian Etch Background story; I'm building a mail server running postfix. The server is up with postfix started without warning, but not listening. It can't send and receive mails. No firewall is running. I made heavy googlging on Internet and found one thread mentioning it may be caused by more than one db running. cpan[11]> test BerkeleyDB ...... .......

OR what will be the easy way to delete it. TIA B.R. satimis
