Changing the default is fine but you need to let postfix create the db file as well if you want to use /etc/postfix as your aliases location. > And looks like the installer puts the original alias file there too, so I > assume my config is per the default config; > # qlist postfix | grep aliases > /etc/postfix/aliases yes postfix-install command places aliases file - along with a few others - into standart configuration directory.

Two options: 1/ use dafaults, i.e. /etc/mail/aliases 2/ use a custom location but then change postfix.service to give r/w access to the new aliases.db location I'd go with option #1 if you do not have a strong preference either way. -- Eray
[gentoo-user] postfix: /etc/postfix/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases ?
I have an old log warning I want to clean up, and am assuming that the aliases and aliases.db file would typically be in the same directory. When the postfix service starts at boot; postfix/postalias[607]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/aliases.db: Read-only file system The location is currently configured in main.cf; # postconf alias_maps alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases And looks like the installer puts the original alias file there too, so I assume my config is per the default config; # qlist postfix | grep aliases /etc/postfix/aliases But this; # grep aliases /lib/systemd/system/postfix.service ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/newaliases ReadWritePaths=-/etc/mail/aliases.db Suggests that /etc/mail is the correct location, so i'm wondering if i missed an update to postfix.service. Can a postfix user please check their ReadWritePaths to see if it's /etc/mail/aliases.db or /etc/postfix/aliases.db ? Cheers.
