you are right. but all come with is smtp.postfix on a fc1 nor test nor
developpement. but i chosen postfix directly while the installation. and
smtp.postfix came with, right. but i just worked, when i copied
smtp.postfix to smtp. the rest of the workaround stayed. i read this on
the link you sent me, that this is a kind of bug (or i misunderstood) of
postfix.
