Hello,

Here is the system:

freebsd2.higonnet.net 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51 UTC 2011 r...@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

I have just built postfix from source

Nov 11 20:12:41 freebsd2 postfix/master[64285]: reload -- version 2.8.7, configuration /usr/local/etc/postfix Nov 11 20:13:08 freebsd2 postfix/qmgr[64852]: warning: problem talking to service rewrite: Operation timed out Nov 11 20:13:14 freebsd2 postfix/cleanup[64928]: fatal: open database /usr/local/etc/postfix/canonical.db: Inappropriate file type or format



The main.cf file has been copied without change so far from a working version 2.7.1 running under FreeBSD 8.1

The canonical.db file has been produced by using postmap hash: using the same canonical file as the aforementioned working older version. postconf -m says hash is possible.


As unusal I must be doing something dumb and simple; I only wish I knew what it is...

TIA

PS I believe all the other db files are also bad

It would be interesting to see the results of the following commands:

file /usr/local/etc/postfix/canonical.db
postconf canonical_maps
postconf default_database_type
