Hi,

When i do smtp on postfix box, i see some errors in
logs and SMTP server not responds for any commands
"mail from:" "rcpt to:" etc

rootbh1:/opt/postfix-2.2.9# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

IN LOGS i see

10:29:03,postfix/postfix-script,mail,info,[ID 197553
mail.info] starting the Postfix mail system
10:29:04,postfix/master,mail,info,[ID 197553
mail.info] daemon started -- version 2.2.9,
configuration /etc/postfix
10:29:16,postfix/smtpd,mail,crit,[ID 947731 mail.crit]
fatal: open database /etc/mail/aliases.dir: No such
file or directory
10:29:17,postfix/master,mail,warning,[ID 947731
mail.warning] warning: process
/opt/postfix-2.2.9/libexec/smtpd pid 13435 exit status

10:29:17,postfix/master,mail,warning,[ID 947731
mail.warning] warning:
/opt/postfix-2.2.9/libexec/smtpd: bad command startup
-- throttling

basically its looking for "/etc/mail/aliases.dir"

not sure why?

I have checked /etc/postfix dir, there is no reference
to "/etc/mail/aliases.dir" in any conf file

rootbh1:/etc/postfix# grep -i aliases.dir *
rootbh1:/etc/postfix#

why its looking for /etc/mail/aliases.dir ?? is it
some default alias file??

my earlier build works fine
