eduac · 07-12-2006, 11:12 AM

hi all,

i try to install the postfix MTA, but i cant make the tests, here is what the log told me:

Code:

Jul 12 10:04:40 CAM88-N postfix/local[2808]: warning: database /etc/postfix/aliases.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/aliases
Jul 12 10:04:40 CAM88-N postfix/local[2808]: warning: connect #1 to subsystem private//usr/bin/maildrop: No such file or directory
Jul 12 10:04:48 CAM88-N postfix/local[2802]: warning: connect #3 to subsystem private//usr/bin/maildrop: No such file or directory
Jul 12 10:04:50 CAM88-N postfix/local[2808]: warning: connect #2 to subsystem private//usr/bin/maildrop: No such file or directory

Anyone knows how to solve this?

Hi,

Can you post a copy of your main.cf file?

Hi,

I don't know if you had a look at this but if you still learning (especially about postfix) like I am, then I think this link will help too.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=453706

Apart from that, you say that you loaded postfix, when you did the install of your system did it load sendmail by chance?

Some differences that I noticed in your main.cf are:

missing inet_interfaces = all

You are using this, whereas I am using the spooler to deliver prior.
home_mailbox = Maildir/

mail_spool_directory=/var/spool/mail

this delivers the mail to user accounts on the system but if you are going to be using virtual email accounts then I believe that it will do that if you use the virtual file:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

You will probably, if you have not done so, want to check your configuration with:
postfix check

I think that you will want to try re-indexing your aliases.db using the command after issuing:
postfix stop
postalias hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
postfix start

then you will want to check your logs again.
