Understandable...

Funny... not... the postfix list is one of the more useful lists I've
ever been subscribed to - almost as useful as the dovecot list, but not
as friendly...

So one question fell through the cracks a couple of weeks before
Christmas (lots of people get busy this time of year), so you rudely
slam him and the postfix list? Not very nice.

Maybe you should ask your question again, and maybe it would help if you
followed the instructions per the welcome message you received when you
joined the list:

TO REPORT A PROBLEM see:
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail

At a minimum, postfix version, output of postconf -n and unedited
NON-verbose logs exhibiting the problem should be provided...
