Error logs? My suspicion is that the proxy map isn't available for some reason. Run `postconf -m` to check that proxy is actually a supported map type (ie. was compiled into your distribution). This is a Debian machine of mine, yours should be similar: yoshino:~# postconf -m btree cidr environ hash nis pcre pgsql proxy regexp sdbm static tcp unix > This is what "postconf -d | grep proxy" returns: `-d` shows you the defaults. Use plain `postconf` to show all relevant values, so your grep will return useful results. Use `-d` when you're reading the postconf manpage and want to know what the default is for system-dependent stuff (at least, that's what I use it for). > There are no lines with proxy in my main.cf, do I need to add in a > "proxy_read_maps"? If so what do I set it to? No. I've never seen it mentioned here; chances are you'll never need to change it. proxy is something of a "magic" map type, you stack it on another "real" map. > If I use > proxy:mysql: will I need to change this? No. The proxy map basically just does connection sharing/pooling to ease the load on mysql (when used on mysql tables). http://www.postfix.org/proxymap.8.html
