The only difference between the 2 I believe is the alias file format is key: value rather than key value used by postmap.

Re: Postfix/receiving mail through router problem
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (pat bey) writes: FreeBSD 4.8 Release hijra.homeunix.com Checking all the postfix conf files and everything seems to be in the right place. Thou this is my first time setting up a mail server so it's a learning experience for me. There are no errors in any of the log files anywhere. Telneting to port 143 and 25 everything is working fine. Postfix only listens on port 25 (as does every mail server). Port 143 is for the imap server. So I figured it must be a problem with my router I think. Checking maillog shows that mail is being queued coming in and I can send with no problem. Show us the log files. If mail comes in ok, and mail goes out ok then I'm not sure what problem you have. [Where's it being queued?] Hope this is enough information. Always thanks for your time and consideration :) Show the output of postconf -n (non default configuration items) and tell us which version of Postfix you are using.

Re: Postfix auth problems on one system, not the other
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (H. Wade Minter) writes: This is a tale of two postfix installs. Install one was on a clean 4.7 system, and works like a charm. Using pwcheck_pam, everything's peachy. On the other system, also a 4.7 install, currently running sendmail, I'm attempting to migrate to postfix. Everything seems to be working fine, except I cannot get SMTP AUTH to work properly. I've got pwcheck_pam running, just like on System 1. /usr/local/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf contains: pwcheck_method: pwcheck just like on System 1. However, when I connect to System 2, and do an AUTH PLAIN (base64-encoded-string), it hangs for 5 seconds or so and spits back Authentication failed, whereas on System 1, it immediately returns with authentication accepted. One clue - when I truss pwcheck_pam on System 1, it shows lots of activity. When I truss it on System 2, there's no activity at all. So it looks like System 2 isn't even contacting the pwcheck daemon to try to auth the password. I'm at my wit's end, so hopefully someone will be able to point me toward something to try to get this working. Any help will be appreciated. Package info, System 1: cyrus-sasl-1.5.27_7 postfix-1.1.11,1 Package info, System 2: cyrus-sasl-1.5.27_7 postfix-1.1.11,1 With any postfix question always provide the following: 1. output of postconf -n (non default configurations) 2. output of /var/log/maillog In your case it may also be useful to enable debugging in smtpd by modifying master.cf and adding a -v line, and then restarting postfix with postfix reload. Hope this helps track down the problem.
