For some time I have been tracking changes to the access table with RCS.
Each time a change is made the "ci access" results in the removal of
the access file from /etc/postfix and leaving the
/etc/postfix.access.db file.
Today I tried to check in a cidr table named cidr-ip. Upon check-in
(and restart of postfix) I got this message in the maillog file:
Apr 6 10:12:57 mg05 postfix/smtpd[4632]: fatal: open
/etc/postfix/cidr-ip: No such file or directory
A "postmap -q<any-pattern-in-file> cidr-ip" returns the rest of the
matching line correctly.
An strace of "postmap -q<any-pattern> cidr-ip" shows it is the
cidr-ip.db file that is being read.
Why does postfix not like the source file being removed from the
/etc/postfix directory?
cidr tables are plain-text tables. The source file is the
live table data. The .db file is your mistake; cidr tables
should not be indexed with postmap.
