I am a novice to Postfix and only have to deal with setting up a new
mail server every couple of years or so. This is only my 3rd time
setting Postfix up in the past 10 years. Over time things change and
every time I do this I have to learn it all over again. With all the
extensive configurations and interactions with other associated service
add-ons such as Dovecot and PostfixAdmin, and the mysql database
(mariadb), I think that I am doing pretty good since I am alone and
don't have any help accept for you guys. So, when I add a comment like
"I looked in postconf -d ..." It is not imagination, it's just not
knowing what this is all about and concern that I am not putting an open
SMTP relay on line like I did the first time trying to set up a mail server.
1. egrep -r 'mysql-aliases\.cf' /etc/postfix
nothing found.
2. postconf -x | egrep 'mysql-aliases.cf'
nothing found.
3. postconf -M | egrep 'mysql-aliases.cf'
nothing found.
By the way, I do appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks, Tom

That was two days ago now, is it still happening today?
Post the outputs each of:
1. egrep -r 'mysql-aliases\.cf' /etc/postfix
2. postconf -x | egrep 'mysql-aliases.cf'
3. postconf -M | egrep 'mysql-aliases.cf'
And any similar log messages *today*.
I looked in postconf -d | grep 'mynetworks ' and the following came up.
Could this error be caused by any of this stuff? Does Postfix really use
all of this or is it superfluous and widening the SMTPd server for attach?
You're letting your imaging run wild.
