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 wy 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...

Postfix bad command startup??
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: May 31 18:03:18 relay postfix/master[4280]: warning: /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling May 31 18:04:18 relay postfix/smtpd[4606]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory May 31 18:04:19 relay postfix/master[4280]: warning: process /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 4606 exit status 1 May 31 18:04:19 relay postfix/master[4280]: warning: /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling May 31 18:05:19 relay postfix/smtpd[4629]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory May 31 18:05:20 relay postfix/master[4280]: warning: process /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 4629 exit status 1 May 31 18:05:20 relay postfix/master[4280]: warning: /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling I can tell that it's listening as netstat -ap tcp reveals this: netstat: kvm not available: /dev/mem: No such file or directory Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 110.52.7.217.2140 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp web112111.mail.g.33920 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 110.52.6.29.4643 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 78-61-12-207.sta.28507 CLOSED tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 78-61-12-207.sta.27646 CLOSE_WAIT tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 78-61-12-207.sta.26479 CLOSE_WAIT tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 110.52.6.35.2109 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 78-61-12-207.sta.23305 CLOSED tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 78-61-12-207.sta.22314 CLOSE_WAIT tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp 78-61-12-207.sta.21323 CLOSE_WAIT tcp4 0 0 relay.ssh *.*LISTEN tcp4 0 0 relay.smtp *.*LISTEN /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...
