Some questions:
Are you getting this error only when deleting domains, or also when doing other things, like creating domains or users, or editing the Postfix configuration in Webmin?
What output do you get for the command
which postmap? Which distro are you using?You can try to edit the config of Webmin's Postfix module, in Webmin/Servers/Postfix/Module Config/System Configuration where you can set the path to postmap.
First check though why this error occurs, because normally no modification to this setting is required and the error you're getting might indicate some deeper problem.
ok, ill look into this deeper tomorrow, as for a quick answer... i have just successfully deleted a user (will try creating and deleting more tomorrow)
running "which postmap" as root actually brought up nothing.. hm.
maybe related is, i did install exim4... dont know much about all this yet but maybe some mail conflicts.
Hmm, which distro is it that you're using?
You may want to verify that installing Exim didn't uninstall Postfix.
On Debian/Ubuntu, you can check the Postfix version with: dpkg -l postfix
On CentOS, you can check it with: rpm -qa postfix
However, it may just be that postmap isn't in your path -- you can search for it with:
find /usr -name postmap
ok, that seems to be it. (on ubuntu 10.04)
nothing found in /usr and get this for dpkg:
$# dpkg -l postfix Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===================================-===================================-====================================================================================== rc postfix 2.7.0-1ubuntu0.2 High-performance mail transport agent
sadly didn’t delete any users before installing exim so cant say if that did it or what! should i just install it?
Do you still have the /etc/postfix/virtual, /etc/postfix/main.cf, and /etc/postfix/master.cf files?
If so, you may simply be able to reinstall Postfix -- though I'd make a backup of everything in /etc/postfix/ before performing the installation.
If you don't have those files, you can still reinstall Postfix, but there will be a lot of config tweaking to do :-)

those files are there. and ya, guess it’s the exim, it wants me to remove it. guess i might as well check how to configure my redmine to postfix instead of exim :)

Yup, that does indeed look like what you need to do -- but make sure you backup your /etc/postfix dir first, as it might overwrite what you have in there already.
If you use the files you currently have in there, it should all work for you after you reinstall Postfix.

yup, works now, thanks a lot for the great help!! :)
