When I try to use a CDB table for authorized_submit_users with Postfix 3.1.6, the sendmail command exits with error "unsupported dictionary type: cdb".
To reproduce: ---- # postconf mail_version mail_version = 3.1.6 # postconf -n authorized_submit_users = cdb:/etc/postfix/authorized_users # cat /etc/postfix/authorized_users testuser OK # postmap cdb:/etc/postfix/authorized_users # ls -l /etc/postfix/authorized_users* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 Oct 23 14:34 /etc/postfix/authorized_users -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2082 Oct 23 14:54 /etc/postfix/authorized_users.cdb # postconf -m | grep cdb cdb # sendmail sendmail: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: cdb ---- Other parts of Postfix seem to be fine with CDB, e.g. postmap in query mode: ---- # postmap -q testuser cdb:/etc/postfix/authorized_users OK ---- Note that I am using Debian 9 (stretch), so the problem may be with the Debian packages and not Postfix in general. I do believe that I have all the necessary packages installed: # dpkg -l "postfix*" | grep ^ii ii postfix 3.1.6-0+deb9u1 amd64 High-performance mail transport agent ii postfix-cdb 3.1.6-0+deb9u1 amd64 CDB map support for Postfix ii postfix-sqlite 3.1.6-0+deb9u1 amd64 SQLite map support for Postfix What am I doing wrong? I have worked around this by using an inline table instead (the table is only a few entries long anyways), so this question is mere curiousity. Ulrich
