Hi Brian,

try:
postalias /etc/postfix/aliases

I thought just using: "newaliases" (sans quotes) did the same thing..
but I know that postalias works fine.

I have no idea why its looking in mailman for the alias file though..
check in /etc/postfix/main.cf for alias_maps and/or alias_database
and see just where postfix is setup to store its database.



regards

Franki

I have a newly installed 10.0 official system with postfix installed. When attempting to send e-mail to it locally, the smtp request hangs
indefinitely and I see:


postfix/smtpd[5135]: fatal: open database
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db: No such file or directory

in /var/log/mail/errors

I presume that the command to build this file is:

newaliases.postfix -I

but that doesn't create the file.  Tried to use webmin to do this, but
it fails with:

Failed to save options : Failed to regenerate table
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases: 256

That's not a useful message for me - anyone?

TIA
Brian
