hello!

i had postfix installed on my slackware 10.0 system and running fine ... but then i wanted to run my mailbox-es trou mysql, so i delete the current intallation and install postfix one more time ..

and ... here comes the problem

i`ve used the main.cf and all other config files from the "working postfix" that was earlier installed on my system (so that can`t be the problem), and after # postfix start ... it looked fine, but i can`t get emails and the error in /var/log/maillog says:

fatal: incorrect version of Berkeley DB: compiled against 4.2.52, run-time linked against 3.3.11

i don`t relly know what Berkeley DB is, couse i relly haven`t used it before, so i came to this forum (you are the experts), so i would/could solve this problem finnaly

p.s. sorry on my bed english ... but i`m solving this problem for about 5hours, so i am relly sleepy right about now

do you have db-4.2.52 installed?

(check /var/log/packages)

yes ... this 3 db are installed

db3-3.3.11-i486-4
db31-3.1.17-i486-1
db4-4.2.52-i486-2

i've tryed install postfix 5 more times ... and it doesn`t work always the same error ... and this error shows only on /var/log/maillog, and postfix just doesn`t work

This is the whole error:

Jan 20 21:04:38 tux postfix/smtpd[24053]: fatal: incorrect version of Berkeley DB: compiled against 4.2.52, run-time linked against 3.3.11
Jan 20 21:04:39 tux postfix/master[24019]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 24053 exit status 1
Jan 20 21:04:39 tux postfix/master[24019]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

ok ... i somehow solve that problem

but there is another problem .. in /var/log/maillog it shows this:

Jan 20 23:14:24 tux postfix/master[1219]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 1415 exit status 127
Jan 20 23:14:24 tux postfix/master[1219]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

how should i fix that?

p.s. i was lookin on google, but can`t find any help there

... and i found what the problem could be ...

root@tux:~# newaliases
postalias: relocation error: postalias: undefined symbol: db_version_4002

this is the output of the command "newaliases" ... hm ... but i relly don`t know how to fix this


oh yes, the previous error in /var/log/maillog still shows
