Today.<br /> <br /> <br /> I won't know for sure until I break something again. <br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> Thom http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-141 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 15:13:05 +0000 Richard 141@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ That's wierd, as I just read the list of updates again to make sure and it isn't listed as being updated ! I guess I have to write another blogpost warning other users.<br /> <br /> Any problems left ? http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-140 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:56:39 +0000 no1tmorrow 140@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Richard,<br /> I just did the 10.4.8 update last night before having all of these problems. So I would agree that 10.4.8 broke my postfix. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Thanks again<br /> Thom http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-139 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:53:41 +0000 Richard 139@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Thom, don't worry your not out of the ordinary with posting so many questions. You are just the first one to post them in the forum, which is why I put it up. Normally people would comment in the blog and I contacted them via email and help them out. Which means that the knowledge would stay hidden between the two of us. In this manner people can look in the forum and learn from earlier problems.<br /> <br /> The /etc/srvtab issue is also an old one, it's even in a comment somewhere in the blog. It's not a real bug just some annoying log entry as everything should work. Just create an empty file with the same name and the log entry won't appear anymore.<br /> <br /> About the dissapearance of postfix mysql, can't really tell what happened. I had one other person mailing me with the same problem. I guess the update 10.4.8 hase changed the postfix binary. I still haven't installed my intel mini with my setup (very busy at the moment) so I couldn't tell. It isn't mentioned in the knowledgebase. http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-138 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:13:19 +0000 no1tmorrow 138@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ **Edit**<br /> Actually it is the console.log not the mail.log<br /> **Edit**<br /> <br /> My mail.log read this:<br /> <br /> Oct 9 07:12:22 web-servers-computer postfix/smtpd[4561]: can't access srvtab file /etc/srvtab: No such file or directory<br /> <br /> <br /> is this normal?<br /> <br /> <br /> I tell you what, I think I have a major problem following directions. I seem to be the only one posting this many problems.<br /> <br /> Thanks Richard for Everything. http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-137 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:10:28 +0000 no1tmorrow 137@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Here is the new and improved list<br /> <br /> btree<br /> cidr<br /> environ<br /> hash<br /> mysql<br /> proxy<br /> regexp<br /> static<br /> unix<br /> <br /> <br /> I sent a test message and it works in roundcube but I will have to wait for the wife to wake up at home to do any additional testing. <br /> <br /> Email has worked in the past so how did mysql get out of the list? http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-136 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:02:08 +0000 Richard 136@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ No it won't, if you run 'make install' the script won't replace you config files so don't worry.<br /> <br /> To make sure you end up with the correct postfix run postconf -m after installation. You should see mysql appear in the list. http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-135 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 13:55:41 +0000 no1tmorrow 135@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Here is the results<br /> <br /> static<br /> sdbm<br /> cidr<br /> regexp<br /> environ<br /> proxy<br /> btree<br /> unix<br /> hash<br /> <br /> <br /> Thus I assume I need to recompile. Will that destroy my settings?<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> Thom http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-134 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 10:27:55 +0000 Richard 134@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ The last message indicates something is wrong with your setup and you are using the original postfix that was installed per default on OS X. MySQL is not supported on the default postfix setup. If you execute postconf -m you can see all supported dictionary types.<br /> <br /> Please run a make install from the source if you still got it on your machine, if not re-compile from source.<br /> <br /> This might be the cause of all the other errors as well... http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-133 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 05:31:54 +0000 no1tmorrow 133@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I am also getting this in mail.log<br /> <br /> <br /> Oct 8 22:30:30 web-servers-computer postfix/smtpd[375]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/not-able-to-receive-mail#post-132 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 05:25:37 +0000 no1tmorrow 132@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ When I send a message to myself i get this in the mail log.<br /> <br /> Oct 8 22:21:22 web-servers-computer postfix/master[286]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 315 exit status 1<br /> Oct 8 22:21:22 web-servers-computer postfix/master[286]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling<br /> <br /> <br /> Any ideas?<br /> <br /> I also had to add $myhostname to main.cf on mydomain_fallback because when I would try to start postfix it would give me and error like this<br /> <br /> postfix: fatal: bad string length 0 &lt; 1: mydomain_fallback = <br /> <br /> This was working until it tried to secure the server using the instructions on the site (I am 100% positive I did something wrong and it is not the instructions).<br /> <br /> Thanks again<br /> Thom
