okay, i do have the files as you described  above:

orange:/etc/postfix> ls *.dpkg-dist
access.dpkg-dist      regexp_table.dpkg-dist  virtual.dpkg-dist
canonical.dpkg-dist   relocated.dpkg-dist
pcre_table.dpkg-dist  transport.dpkg-dist

these contain nothing but comment lines, every single one of them.

i'm confused about the old vesions -- are those the ones in
/etc/postfix/db?:

orange:/etc/postfix/db> ls
access.hash               canonical.recipient.hash.db  relocated.hash
access.hash.db            canonical.sender.hash        relocated.hash.db
aliases.hash              canonical.sender.hash.db     transport.hash
aliases.hash.db           headerchecks.regexp          transport.hash.db
bodychecks.regexp         mydestination.hash           virtual.hash
canonical.hash            mydestination.hash.db        virtual.hash.db
canonical.hash.db         relays.hash
canonical.recipient.hash  relays.hash.db

the .hash files are all empty.

afaict, the files like /etc/postfix/access.dpkg-dist and
/etc/postfix/db/access.hash.db have nothing in common.  


thanks again for your help!
