Hey,

I'm trying to follow the tutorial from http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch
to set up the postfix. dpkg -l | grep postfix gives me the following
information:

LIJIANG:~# dpkg -l | grep postfix
ii postfix 2.3.8-2+b1 A
high-performance mail transport agent
ii postfix-mysql 2.3.8-2+b1
MYSQL map support for Postfix

But ps aux | grep postfix tells me there's no process called postfix
running. Even after /etc/init.d/postfix restart I got the same result.
The /var/log/mail.log tells me the following information:

Aug 7 23:02:19 woody sm-mta[24462]: l77DqINI023401: SYSERR(root):
hash map "Alias0": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file
or directory

Then I tried to use telnet to test by entering telnet 127.0.0.1 25 and
it gives me the below result:

LIJIANG:~# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ;; ESMTP connection timed out; no servers could be reached

250-;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Hello

Can any of you me to correctly set up the postfix please?

Blessings,
Rocky

I am following the same Tutorial, along with other things, and am at
the virtual alias maps section. I do not have the problems you show

How far into the Tutorial are you when you got the below messages?

> LIJIANG:~# dpkg -l | grep postfix
> ii postfix 2.3.8-2+b1 A
> high-performance mail transport agent
> ii postfix-mysql 2.3.8-2+b1
> MYSQL map support for Postfix
Mine are newer

postfix & postfix-mysql 2.4.3-1

but the below coments "should" still be valid.

Do you have a file called /etc/aliases? What is in it?
Check out the postalias man page. man postalias

I am adapting the Tutorial to testing so this may not mean anything,
but at the point I am in the tutorial, I do not have a
/etc/mail/aliases.db file either.

Greping for "aliases" in the /etc/postfiix dir, I only come up with
/etc/aliases in the main.cf file. I do have an aliases and a
aliases.db file, but in /etc/.

Not if you keep asking for and don't answer any of the questions

Good luck, bye.
