[wplug] fetchmail-postfix-smtp problem

[Mike Kuentz (2)]

that file is a unix socket postfix creates.  If you created a file, stop
postfix, delete it, and try bringing up postfix again.  It should create
the file.  If not "mksock /var/spool/postfix/private/proxymap; chown
postfix:postfix /var/spool/postfix/private/proxymap" might work.
