I have put a test syslog call in the top of sanitizer.pl (so that I can see when it is called) but it ain't happening. The only (possibly) relevant error in the system log is: postfix/local[19903]: fatal: connect #11 to subsystem private/procmail: No such file or directory Restarting mail doesn't seem to solve the problem - mail is just hiding in the system somewhere. If I change the main.cf back to cyrus then the missing mail gets delivered (but obviously not via procmail).

  Strange... I haven't seen that problem come up yet. I just finished following the article's instructions on a brand new Panther Server install and that didn't have any issues. Try this:
  
  Make sure that the master.cf lines are correct. Extraneous white space _shouldn't_ make a difference, but you might have picked up an extra line break or something during your copy and paste. Double check the text in that file, making sure it's on two lines.
  
  Also, make sure that in main.cf you have uncommented the mailbox_transport to cyrus. Finally, try completely stopping mail services (sudo postfix stop) and then starting them back up (sudo postfix start). For some reason your Postfix daemons might not be picking up on the changes. A complete stop/start will hopefully help.

  The complete stop and start seems to have fixed the problem. Mind you a complete stop was hard to achieve (I was not on-site and the server manager kept restarting mail). Anyway it looks like it is all working now. Thanks a million.
