problems recieving mails

[mgrossma]

i'm quiet stupid in getting mta's running, so don't kill me if my problem seems to be boring

Sending of mails should work, but recieving didn't.
Looks like postfix uses nis instead of libnss-mysql?

thx for any help

What's the output of

postconf | grep ^alias

[proflan]

Hi Gertjan, thanks for answer.

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases

[Gertjan]

Hi Gertjan, thanks for answer.

Well, it's just an answer, not a solution.

But when I'm lookng around, I only can find two options:

alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases

or

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

As you can see, yours is a combination of these two. Is that correct? (It's just a suggestion, to be honest, I don't understand the nis:mail.aliases part.)

[proflan]

Very funny thing, i added the follwoing to my main.conf

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases

The "nis:mail.aliases" is away now and: Now it seems to work!

Thank you very much for that idea! :-)
