I see the same thing. The Berkeley database .db binary files are derived from the non-.db text files, so the .db files should be younger, not older.
There must be some postmap or newaliases command to regenerate everything, but that won’t get at the underlying issue of why these files are being “updated” with a MacPorts update. These database files are not and should not be part of the mail-server or postfix ports: > port contents mail-server | grep aliases > port contents postfix | grep aliases I don’t see why they’d have new time stamps on them. > ls -l /opt/local/etc/postfix/aliases* > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 11150 Feb 14 16:32 /opt/local/etc/postfix/aliases > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 16384 May 23 2019 > /opt/local/etc/postfix/aliases.db > On Mar 23, 2020, at 06:03, Gerben Wierda <gerben.wie...@rna.nl> wrote: > > I did an update of postfix, dovecot etc. on Feb 22.
