./postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I get this error when trying to start:

[root@frodo pub]# postfix start
postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@frodo pub]#

Have you removed some software recently or force installed the Postfix package?
Usually package managers will install all the necessary required components.

There is a quick fix, but it may lead to more problems...
/lib/libssl.so.4 is just a softlink to /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a
The fix is to make a softlink to /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b called /lib/libssl.so.4
do cd /lib then ln -s libssl.so.0.9.6b libssl.so.4
This missing link indicates that the newer version of Postfix was installed without using a package manager or was force installed. It is expecting to find a newer 7a version of ssl libraries than the 6b ones installed.
You may still have many more missing files in that case...

Last time I checked your SMTP server was working more or less correctly (only the DNS problem prevented you from getting mail). What have you changed in the last week that is related to OpenSSL or Postfix?
