Postfix help


I keep getting this message when I run Postfix

postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/hosts~ and /etc/hosts~ differ

Postfix still seems to run, but I can't do some functions with it.

What is the problem and how do I fix it. I'm new to postfix.

Thanks

make a copy of /var/spool/postfix/etc/hosts and then make them match. Compare them and make sure they have the same entries. It is just saying that it has a conflict between the files.

but thanks for the response. It was the "hosts~". There was no hosts~ in /etc//
