great, thanks ...
maybe that wasn't what i needed, though?  after dpkg-reconfiguring
postfix, i still get the same error trying to run postfix:

orange:~# postfix
postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix): No such file or directory

the things i skipped over in dselect-configure were things like

Configuration file `/etc/postfix/access'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.                         
*** access (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?  

the ones related to postfix were:
/etc/postfix/access
/etc/postfix/canonical
/etc/postfix/pcre_table                                              
/etc/postfix/postfix-script
/etc/postfix/regexp_table
/etc/postfix/relocated 
/etc/postfix/transport 
/etc/postfix/virtual

thanks again,
