Courier-imap + Postfix problem

Ok, i haven't got any responses regarding this post, but i
have found what i think might be causing the problem.

I setup my server with the hostname "berkeley" and
installed everything i needed including postfix and
courier-imap. I have since changed the hostname to "server"
which was the name of my previous 5.2 release server (i had
problems with the new berkeley hostname.) Anyway, i see in
the output of postconf that there are two settings that
appear to be dependent on the hostname, namely:

berkeley_db_create_buffer_size=16777216 and
berkeley_db_read_buffer_size=131072

Since the hostname changed to "server", shouldn't these now
be server_db_create_buffer_size=16777216 and
server_db_read_buffer_size=131072??

If so:

1:)Could this be the source of my errors appearing in
   maillog(see below)?

2:)What do i need to do? - Reinstall postfix?

Please advise,

King regards
Gareth
