Hi Darryl, Let's try this again. What version of Webmin are you running? This module is supposed to be built-into Webmin versions 0.80 and up. I just double-checked my Webmin server (version 0.84) and the Postfix module is indeed there. If you're running an earlier version, it is very easy to upgrade, and you won't lose any of your previous configs. Again, attach to your Webmin server, go into your Webmin tab, Webmin Configuration, then Upgrade Webmin. Click the button for latest version from www.webmin.com and then upgrade webmin. Go make yourself a coffee and when you come back it should be finished. Don't panic if it takes a few minutes, it's doing its thing.
