Time Machine doesn't restore sendmail settings?

I reinstalled Leopard a few months ago and restored my previous system using Time Machine.  Everything has gone smoothly until today when I encountered a strange error when sending email using a Rails application.  The application uses sendmail when it is in development mode.  Here is the error: sendmail: fatal: chdir /private/var/spool/postfix: No such file or directory A quick google search found the solution.  All you have to do is run the following command: 'sudo /etc/postfix/post-install create-missing' and then restart I got the solution from this discussion on the Apple forums: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1452977&tstart=270
