This looks like an error in Postfix's main.cf. It appears you have something like alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases;hash:/etc/mail/aliases.db or possibly it's alias_database = dbm:/etc/aliases;hash:/etc/mail/aliases.db In any case, the rhs should be dbm:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mail/aliases (i.e. the delimiter between tables is comma and/or whitespace, not semicolon, and hash references do not include the .db extension). >In looking through the files on my machine, I have an aliases.db under /etc as >in /etc/aliases.db and another under /etc/mail/ >If I am interpreting the permissions on these aliases.db files, the one under >/etc/mail appears to be associated with a smxx account, which I am guessing is >Sendmail?
