Hi guys..

I have just seen this in my logs...

Mar 20 15:34:40 kanga postfix/smtp[3697]: C23EF5E574:

kanga:/home/nav#


The file it is referring to, is not there, which i guess is the 
issue, but anyone know what it is, why it may have gone awol, and 
where i get a new one!?

It was all working fine a few days ago,  the last think i have done, 
was to add new rules in /etc/amavis/conf.d/55-mysettings.  any 
thoughts, help would be appreciated.

Mike..
