    On running: sudo make install

    I get the error:

    Updating /usr/bin/newaliases...
    mv: cannot resolve /Volumes/backup/postfix-2.4.5/junk: /Volumes/usr
    postfix-install: Error: your mv command has trouble renaming symlinks.
    If you run Linux, upgrade to GNU fileutils-4.0 or better,
    or choose a tempdir that is in the same file system as /usr/bin/newaliases.
    If you run FreeBSD, upgrade to version 5 or better.
    make: *** [install] Error 1

    Anyone else experienced this?

    Sorry for the late replay, but I can't say I've seen that error before. It's a strange location that the mv command is trying to resolve. Did you try to install from a different physical drive, that might be the cause of the problem ?
