Yes, I'm the OP.  Yes, I DID post this on the RH list, which is quite 
active BTW.  Yes, the system I'm working on IS RHEL.  However, this 
problem not being STRICTLY a RHEL problem, I posted it to both the RH 
and Fedora lists.  Why?  Because postfix runs on both platforms and my 
hope was to find ANYONE that might have an idea, since I'd exhausted all 
my other resources.  I could have lied and said that this was a Fedora 
system and would anyone have known the difference?  No.  I've posted 
problems in here (and I'm sure others have) that aren't strictly Fedora 
related, just to find HELP.  I don't want to be on a list for every 
distro and application I use, who does?  It's overload. Most of us use 
more than one distro, most of us use the same basic set of applications, 
so why not go where there might be help?

You know, there used to be a time when a post like this wasn't flame 
bait.  It was either resolved in a friendly manner (and I do thank Mike 
Burger for the reply) or taken off-list to be resolved.  I'm really 
rather disappointed at the vehement nature of an in ceasing portion of 
the posts ( and, indeed, replies) on this list.  Bad attitudes seem to 
be becoming more and more the norm around here.

In future I will be more selective in what I post here, as well as in 
who I decide to try to help.
