i've been offline for about a month and a half, thanks to a move that hasn't
quite worked out properly.

anyway, sometime during my absense the following error has begun to appear:
"postfix/qmgr: warning: connect to transport vacation: Connection refused".

unfortunately, all of my manuals and references are still in storage, so i'm
kind of limited with my local resources. i've tried using google to figure
it out, i've read some of the online Postfix documentation, and i'm still
confused. my thinking is that one of the users may have set up an automated
reply using vacation, and either it's missing or damaged. trying to use the
vacation command on this server was resulting in "command not found". i've
re-installed the vacation package, the command executes properly, but the
error in postfix/qmgr persists.

apparently at the same time that this error appeared, clamav and
smapassassin also appear to have stopped functioning properly. i don't
think this is related to the transport vacation problem, but i could be
mistaken, so i wanted to mention them both at once and see what the experts
think. anyway, with both of those enabled in the amavisd-new cofig, a lot
of mail (but not all) is delayed, and in many cases never delivered. with
those disabled, mail appears to be delivered normally.

it wasn't doing these things before i left, but after a month away, i'm
having trouble determining what changed.

here are the requisite configuration files:
postconf -n
http://www.ocse9.com/postconf-n.11142007.txt
postfinger
http://www.ocse9.com/postfinger.11142007.txt
saslfinger -s
http://www.ocse9.com/saslfinger-s.11142007.txt

if you have trouble accessing those, let me know. i can send these files
individually as needed.

thanks in advance for any help.
