Error after postfix upgrade

[Martin.Hepworth]

Hmm

One thing that changed recently (postfix 2.3??) was the queue layout default change. Before it was of the style /var/spool/postfix/hold/[0-9a-f]/..., now it's /var/spool/postfix/hold/...

Not sure when this happened off hand, was either 2.2 or 2.3...

Also looking at the MS changelog the P record support now in PF 2.3/4 isn't fully handled till MS 40.60.8, so given you're running quite and old version of MS I would upgrade MS as Glenn suggests.
