[rancid] issues with email delivery

[Delmiro Campelo]

Hi Alan, and thank you for helping with this. I was able to get it working
again by uninstalling postfix and reinstalling it. One more question, how
does rancid find mail server to send the email to ? is it based on MX
record for the email address specified in the aliases?

Thanks again,
Delmiro
