Hello. I'm testing out dbmail for use with Postfix for the first time, and am having quite a time of it. Aside from the documentation issues (how long since INSTALL reflected the install procedure closely?) I'm having a final issue with postfix not starting up after making the modifications in INSTALL.
Even when running postfix with -vv I get no errors, nor any when running with check -vv. However upon postfix start, the process never takes off. I get only this: "postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system", and "tardis postfix: succeeded" in syslog. DBmail is not apparently logging anything as it never gets called by Postfix, as least that's how I understand it. This is after following procedure, adding dbmail to a working postfix config. System and software are: Mandrake 9.1,Kernel 2.5.49,MySQL 3.23.53,Postfix 1.11, DBmail current (today 11-27-02 CVS) The dbmail user can access the database via mysql -u dbmail dbmail -p, can use dbmail-adduser to add users. DBmail is installed as user/group bin:bin, reflected in master.cf My thanks for any recommendations, suggestions, etc. I'm guessing that I'm simply missing a procedure somewhere that isn't in the docs.
