That might work. Alternative: postfix stop, postmap -d key table, postfix start. Don't change the database while Postfix is running. > Also, is this normal operations if reloading postfix generates the > following message: > close database /var/lib/postfix/verify_cache.db: No such file or directory > (possible Berkeley DB bug) > Or have I messed up something? That is a bug in Berkeley DB. It is harmless, but a bug nevertheless. Wietse
