    | Additionally in logs/error I have the following:
    | Mar 22 19:02:22 2000 post(6870): starting
    | Mar 22 19:02:22 2000 post(6870): ending

It is normal to see those messages in logs/error.  That's useful
debugging information that should probably be turned off in 2.0
final.

I think I understand why you're getting output to stdout.  Look in
scripts/post and change

    LogStdErr("error", "post")

to

    LogStdErr("error", "post", tee_to_stdout=0)

The question is, why haven't I seen this with Postfix?  Does it just
get chucked?  I definitely don't see it in my syslog (and I'm logging
all mail.* messages in my syslog.conf.  Weird.

I also understand why you see it twice.  It would be possible if there
was some kind of permission problem with logs/error, but you're seeing
messages in that file, so that can't be it.
