postfix problem on a Solaris system
I am getting errors in my Logwatch email about postfix mail system.
The first error I get is this in the maillog file.
sun6275-1-0.local sendmail[1417]: [ID 702911 mail.notice] alias database /etc/mail/aliases rebuilt by root
sun6275-1-0.local sendmail[1417]: [ID 702911 mail.info] /etc/mail/aliases: 12 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 138 bytes total

sun6275-1-0.local postfix/master[1567]: [ID 197553 mail.info] daemon started -- version 2.5.1, configuration /etc/postfix
So I modify owner these with
-bash-3.00# ls -ld /var/spool/postfix/
drwxr-xr-x 16 postfix postdrop 16 Mar 9 12:11 /var/spool/postfix/
-bash-3.00# chown root /var/spool/postfix
-bash-3.00# ls -ld /usr/sbin/postqueue
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 723044 Dec 17 11:33 /usr/sbin/postqueue
-bash-3.00# chown root:postdrop /usr/sbin/postqueue
-bash-3.00# ls -ld /usr/sbin/postdrop
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 731940 Dec 17 11:33 /usr/sbin/postdrop
-bash-3.00# chown root:postdrop /usr/sbin/postdrop
-bash-3.00# chmod g+s /usr/sbin/postqueue
-bash-3.00# chmod g+s /usr/sbin/postdrop
Then restart postfix
svcadm v restart network/smtp:postfix
It appear to fix the errors

Then these start appearing.

I do a

/etc/mail/aliases: 12 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 138 bytes total
-bash-3.00# postalias /etc/mail/aliases
-bash-3.00# postfix reload
And the file is now there, but then I start getting this error.

I run postconf m and I see that hash is not support on Solaris.
-bash-3.00# postconf -m
cidr
dbm
environ
nis
nisplus
pcre
proxy
regexp
static
unix
I modify the main.cf to point to use dbm and restart the service
alias_maps = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_database = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases
I still get this

Can anyone help?
