Aight, I think I've got it licked. Looks like linuxconf was writing out a bad main.cf file, so I've edited the file directly with pico and it's working fine now. I think this was also keeping me from getting sendmail working a long time ago. Thanks for the help.

It was working for a bit. I'd previously removed sendmail, did a fresh postfix install from a RH RPM, did successful send/receive tests to/from an email account on a domain hosted elsewhere as well as between root and ggiles on the host box. >What are the relevant lines in your /etc/postfix/main.cf for the alias database? alias_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/aliases. I guess I could RTFM (non-engineer alert!), but what's the primary diff between dbm vs. hash? >Was it installed as an rpm or from source? RPM linked from postfix.org. >Does your /etc/postfix/aliases file exist, or should it be using /etc/aliases? /etc/postfix/aliases does exist. The only mod I did to aliases was to "root: ggiles". Aside from that, I left most everything alone and used the linuxconf postfix configuration defaults. Whenever I've run newaliases, it barfs that error message. I could do a RPM reinstall, but I'm a hard-headed bastard and would rather spend four times as long trying to figure out the problem. ;) _______________________________________________________________ "A government operating in the shadow of secrecy stands in complete opposition to the society envisioned by the framers of our Constitution." - Judge Damon J.

What are the relevant lines in your /etc/postfix/main.cf for the alias database? Was it installed as an rpm or from source? My configuration uses a dbm format as opposed to a hash: alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases And i remember from compiling it, i had to install dbm libraries for it to work properly. Does your /etc/postfix/aliases file exist, or should it be using /etc/aliases? -thorsten On Wed, 11 Sep 2002, Gregg Giles wrote: > Hi folks, > > Postfix is being temperamental, giving me this message: > > postalias hash:/etc/postfix/aliases > > postalias: fatal: bad numerical configuration: debug_peer_level = 2? > PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin? xxgdb /usr/libexec/postfix/ & sleep 5 > > I'm using linuxconf to configure it (I've set the host, domain, and set > the root alias to a real user, and left most other things untouched). > Destination is set to "$myhostname localhost.$mydomain $mydomain".
