Hi,
similar like I wrote before, to do with my migration from Solaris 9 to
FreeBSD 8.0 x64 RELEASE.
Postfix is being run in a BSD Jail and so far I have disabled as much as
I could of sendmail which I did this to rc.conf within the jail:
postfix_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
However upon startup Postfix gives me this problem:

I can tell that it's listening as netstat -ap tcp reveals this:

/var/log/messages gives me this:
May 31 18:10:24 relay postfix/smtpd[4662]: fatal: open database
/etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory
however I did run the command newaliases which did create the aliases
file under /etc/mail/aliases with the aliases.db file being under there
as well as under /etc.
Currently no mail is being relayed throughout the domain so I can tell
that it's not working as even the /var/log/maillog file is telling me
that messages are queued but not sent if I use:
mail -s test em...@address.com
test
^D
Can someone please help me work out what is causing Postfix to fail as
I've managed to migrate my config from Linux to Solaris with not as many
issues and problems as this so it really beats me.......????
Many thanks,
Kaya
Kaya,
You may need to edit the following
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
and run BOTH 'newaliases' and 'postalias /etc/aliases' depending on
your setup.
restart postfix for good measure
if you telnet to your postfix IP and get the 220 banner, postfix is
happy with the config and should work as config'd.
if after establishing a telnet session, you don't get any banner,
postfix is still having problems with something. start looking at
logs again.
Thanks so much Tim!!! :-)
I hadn't used the
'postalias /etc/aliases'
command at all so running it now actually made the system work pretty
well......
At least I haven't restarted the Jail yet but so far everything works!
I just hope this stays permanently as I find Jails a bit less stable
then Solaris Zones which is what I'm trying to mimic with them; however,
it might just be because I don't know how to use them yet as I've only
just learned about how to create them and run simple services in them.
Meaning that my statement is probably waaaay premature!!
Now if I could just figure out how to start Squid through the rc.d
scripts rather then running manually as root user as per my other
posting that would be really cool.......
Best Regards,
Kaya
