Postfix bad command startup??

[Kaya Saman]

Hi,

similar like I wrote before, to do with my migration from Solaris 9 to 
FreeBSD 8.0 x64 RELEASE.

Postfix is being run in a BSD Jail and so far I have disabled as much as 
I could of sendmail which I did this to rc.conf within the jail:

postfix_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"


However upon startup Postfix gives me this problem:

May 31 18:03:18 relay postfix/master[4280]: warning: 
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
May 31 18:04:18 relay postfix/smtpd[4606]: fatal: open database 
/etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory

I can tell that it's listening as netstat -ap tcp reveals this:

/var/log/messages gives me this:

May 31 18:10:24 relay postfix/smtpd[4662]: fatal: open database 
/etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory

however I did run the command newaliases which did create the aliases 
file under /etc/mail/aliases with the aliases.db file being under there 
as well as under /etc.

Currently no mail is being relayed throughout the domain so I can tell 
that it's not working as even the /var/log/maillog file is telling me 
that messages are queued but not sent if I use:

mail -s test email at address.com

test

^D

Can someone please help me work out what is causing Postfix to fail as 
I've managed to migrate my config from Linux to Solaris with not as many 
issues and problems as this so it really beats me.......????

Many thanks,


Kaya
