I'm having a problem with Postfix similar to the one in this thread. I can't read German, so I hope someone can help me out in this regard. If I attempt to send mail (regardless of the sender or recipient) with Pine, postfix balks with this message:
Code:
Jul 31 13:22:02 omega postfix/smtpd[7398]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
Jul 31 13:22:02 omega postfix/smtpd[7398]: E69122E8A9: client=localhost[127.0.0.1]
Jul 31 13:22:02 omega postfix/postdrop[7399]: fatal: uid=1000: unexpected record type: 84
Jul 31 13:22:03 omega postfix/smtpd[7398]: warning: premature end-of-input on /usr/sbin/postdrop while reading input attribute name

Pine then appears to halt for a while, failing to respond to input. After a few minutes, it returns a "failed to send" message, indicating that the message timed out. Sending with mutt or telnet does not produce this error and the mail is delivered properly. However, I prefer Pine. Here is my /etc/postfix/main.cf configuration (host and domain names masked):
Code:
mvaughn@omega mvaughn $ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep -v ^# | sort

alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
mydomain = domain.tld
myhostname = system.domain.tld
myorigin = $myhostname
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.0.11
relay_domains = $mydestination
relayhost =
sample_directory = /etc/postfix/sample
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
soft_bounce = no
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450

If anyone could advise or... possibly enlighten me as to how the German users solved it... I'd be much obliged. Thanks.
