But this installation of Postfix WAS working, and then stopped. Blast
its eyes.

Anyway, I decided that time spent investigating that would be better
spent installing postfix 2.1, which I did this morning. Went reasonabley
smoothly, although make upgrade didn't do what I expected - the config
file it ended up with wasn't doing a lot of what it used do. However,
postfix upgrade-configuration worked just nicely.


So, now I have postfix 2.1 running, and RBL checking working again.
