| System.log entry? This entry shows in my System.Log repeatedly, --------------- Dec 21 09:36:35 MacBook-Pro com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master): Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory ----------------- Can anyone shed some light on what it means, and maybe how to correct it? jb.

| Have you enabled or ported Postfix or Mailman? It (Postfix) can't find maildrop. Maybe it's partially not enabled. Or maybe Time Machine was running while these lines in system.log occurred?

| Thanks for the reply. I know nothing of Postfix or Mailman, none of my doings. I'm running a stock install of Leopard on my MBP. All I show under the folder /var is a /cups folder. Is there something I could remove from LaunchD to make it stop checking or trying to count? jb.

| That whole subfolder structure after /var was missing. I did an Archive&install and all appears well now. I have no idea where those subfolders went, but they are all back in place now. jb.

What I have done though is, at least twice, is total restores from Time Machine backups. Maybe a problem there, like something left behind. jb.
