------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-14-09 22:00 ------- Mea culpa. There didn't seem to be anything about the setting that suggested a product other than postfix, so I didn't look too carefully. You're right, I'm running mailman -7mdk, so if this is fixed in -8mdk, this can be closed. The webmin bug is bogus - I had uninstalled and reinstalled mailman in between, which is why it displayed the faulty setting again. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: In a cooker system built on about Sep 9, attempts to send mail would fail (and cause the "sending" popup in Mozilla to hang until "Cancel" was selected). The messages in syslog were: Sep 13 09:07:04 ftgme2 postfix/master[2619]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling Sep 13 09:08:04 ftgme2 postfix/local[17394]: fatal: open dictionary: need "type:name" form instead of: "`/usr/sbin/postconf" Sep 13 09:08:05 ftgme2 postfix/master[2619]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/local pid 17394 exit status 1 The cause of this is a missing quote in the specification for the alias databases used by the local delivery agent. If viewed in Webmin (Servers -> Postfix -> Mail Aliases), this option displays as `/usr/sbin/postconf | grep ^alias_maps | cut -d which is missing the ending back-quote. As a related issue, when I fixed this through Webmin, and then redisplayed the offending field, the quote was again missing, although now mail was being sent successfully. So Webmin may have a problem here. I've queued this to Postfix so that the configuration file can be corrected. When that's fixed, please requeue to Webmin (and change the severity) so that the display issue can be addressed.
