    Urgent Postfix Problem

    All of the sudden postfix no longer works corrrectly.
    it starts just fine with /etc/init.d/postfix start

    but it logs this error whenever somebody tries to connect to smtp
    Code:
    Jun 19 21:03:56 localhost postfix/tlsmgr[3231]: fatal: open database /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db: Invalid argument
    Jun 19 21:03:57 localhost postfix/master[3225]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/tlsmgr pid 3231 exit status 1
    Jun 19 21:03:57 localhost postfix/master[3225]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/tlsmgr: bad command startup -- throttling
    I have been adjusting permissions and trying countless things

    Code:
    postfix set-permissions
    postfix upgrade-configuration
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    Try this:
    - shutdown postfix
    - move /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db to /root/
    - start postfix

    Seems, that cache file is corrupt.
    But instead of deleting, moving seems less intrusiv.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    Thank you for your time!
    I finally got it by reinstalling postifx and running some wild commands. I what I ended up doing was copying configuration files over from another Ubuntu Distribution.
