Uhmmm, I just enabled that out of curiosity after reading the mail from Danilo, and everything went fine, here is how I did it:
equo install postfix rc-update add postfix default /etc/init.d/postfix start after noticing some complaining about /etc/aliases.db in my /var/log/messages I read some man pages: man postfix man postalias man newaliases then I created my /etc/aliases file using: touch /etc/aliases I created /etc/aliases.db running: newaliases and restarted postfix: /etc/init.d/postfix restart and it seems to work, I sent 2 or 3 emails for testing, they were happily delivered. The strange thing is that it does not look like /etc/aliases.db was created, probably because my /etc/aliases is empty...
