you might want to at least read the man page first.
I should not have to do this to get the GUI (i.e. the product I
bought, Server, which includes all the GUI tools I'm supposed to
need) to work. I should not have to mess with the command line for
basic product functionality, since that's the way Server is sold.
I have to take what is asked of me on this list on its face. Typos
in requests notwithstanding, I should not have to go to school on
the command line to get a GUI product to work. This is Apple's
problem, not yours. :-/
What's galling is the lack of support from Apple, but that's an
issue to be discussed with Apple.
Well, I blame Apple for the way they marketed 10.5 server. Obviously,
their call, but it's not helpful in so many ways.
"Shouldn't have to" won't help you much, but the command-line tools
often will. I recommend not rejecting a critical toolset.
What happens when you try the following ?
First try
sudo postfix reload
and watch the system log in another window
tail -f /var/log/system.log
and the mail log in another
tail -f /var/log/mail.log
And then try in the first Terminal window:
sudo serveradmin stop mail
(wait 15 seconds)
sudo serveradmin start mail
And lastly (just one way to do it):
cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl unload org.postfix.master.plist
wait 5-10 seconds, and then:
sudo launchctl load org.postfix.master.plist
Finally, press: ctrl c
(simultaneously) to cancel watching the log(s)
