Hi,
That sounds like the issue which blocked Tumbleweed (including the Arm flavor
for few days, see [0].
But that should be fixed now. At least 20260126 was green again in openQA for
this issue.
I installed updates for TW today but they didn't solve the postfix problem.
These two lines provided by Freek de Kruijf (thanks!) helped:
semanage fcontext -m -t etc_aliases_t /etc/aliases.lmdb
restorecon /etc/aliases.lmdb
Joe
Cheers,
Guillaume

I tried "newaliases" to create a new /etc/aliases.lmdb, but that did not help.

In the end I tried setting the proper selinux parameters on /etc/aliases.lmdb and found the
following commands to be successful:
semanage fcontext -m -t etc_aliases_t /etc/aliases.lmdb
restorecon /etc/aliases.lmdb
