spamfilter:dummy - not found

SpamAssassin Server version 3.2.4
running on Perl 5.8.8
with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 0.97)
with zlib support (Compress::Zlib 1.35)

Had it working, but . . . now seeing in /var/log/mail 'transport unavailable'. . . .'spamfilter.dummy . . . no such file or directory' (paraphrased)

Was seeing this, but a reboot resolved it. I am not sure what 'spamfilter.dummy' refers to (ahem . . .), but it is identical to a typo I had in
/var/postifx/master.cf when setting up. Since changed to "spamassassin".

Surely, it cannot be "looking back in time" and must have some other significance?

A postfix transport

The old queuefiles still contain the old reference to the typoed
transport name

postsuper -r ALL
postfix flush

Ah, so it is *not* telling me my current setup is "broken", but is
trying to process "old" mail?

In a sense it's broken, since the transport it has been configured to use doesn't exist.
postsuper -r ALL
postfix flush
and the issue's gone
