Hello,
Here is the system:
freebsd2.higonnet.net 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17
02:41:51 UTC 2011
r...@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
I have just built postfix from source
Nov 11 20:12:41 freebsd2 postfix/master[64285]: reload -- version 2.8.7,
configuration /usr/local/etc/postfix
Nov 11 20:13:08 freebsd2 postfix/qmgr[64852]: warning: problem talking
to service rewrite: Operation timed out
Nov 11 20:13:14 freebsd2 postfix/cleanup[64928]: fatal: open database
/usr/local/etc/postfix/canonical.db: Inappropriate file type or format
The main.cf file has been copied without change so far from a working
version 2.7.1 running under FreeBSD 8.1
The canonical.db file has been produced by using postmap hash: using the
same canonical file as the aforementioned working older version.
postconf -m says hash is possible.
As unusal I must be doing something dumb and simple; I only wish I knew
what it is...
TIA
Bernard Higonnet
PS I believe all the other db files are also bad
