Good-Day everyone,
i have just installed mandrake 10.1 am i'm trying to send mail from one user to another on the same machine. Unfortunately the mails are never received. I checked the log file and this is the error that I get.

Nov 14 23:42:38 linmail postfix/local[19359]: fatal: open database /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db: No such file or directory
Nov 14 23:43:38 linmail postfix/smtpd[19407]: fatal: open database /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db: No such file or directory.
I have tried evrything that I coulld think of with my limited knowledge. I would appreciate some help on this one.

run

postalias /ets/aliases
postmap /etc/postfix/access
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
postmap /etc/postfix/transport

then move the /etc/aliases file to /etc/postfix
lastly run newaliases command and restart postfix

hope this solves you problem
