Peter: You bring a point which I was thinking about. So here are three questions:
(1) Postfix & MySQL & dbMail: After I assemble Postfix with MySQL support, do I need to create the /etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf file? I do not have this file because I thought that dbMail has a similar file! (2) Postfix & MySQL & dbMail: Where is the actual email is stored? Is it in dbMail database or in "Maildir"? Do I need to setup data storage type in main.cf file? (3) After /etc/dbmail.conf file is edited, I am supposed to run dbmail-config. I have not been able to find dbmail-config. Where is this command & what is the actual shell to run it? Tomorrow morning, I am going to do a fresh install of RH9, MySQL & dbMail. I am hoping these issues are resolved so I have a smooth sailing.

However, what I see that it is not covered in that tutorial is to make postfix look at dbmail alias tables for alises but not in his alias file. Look at http://www.postfix.org/MYSQL_README.html This is POSTFIX how-to for that :) Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Kirti S.
