You're absolutely right - that is what has happened, and maybe a cause 
of some of my problems.  So, I presume that they have been changed from 
a config file at some point, though which one I don't know.  The 
question now is how do I set them back to postfix?  Is it done from a 
config file, or by deleting the link and making a new one?  If this is 
so, I presume that all the mta-related links will need changing?

Sorry if this seems so very newbie, but after four years with a distro 
that does things very differently I do have a lot to learn.
