defox94085 : 13/10/02 06:49 AM : Incident created -   I just installed 9.0 after a 8.1 install and once I got 9.0 installed, postfix is not working correctly. It was working before, and as a precaution, I had saved my existing postfix configuration in /etc. I seem to be able to send mail out but can't receive mail. In the logs, it says that various connections are coming in, but then it throttles because it can't connect to one or more of the subprocesses like public/cleanup. I've played with the main.cf file some and can attach it if needed in a separate message. Please direct replies to [email protected].

Linegod_7611 : 13/10/02 07:27 AM : Reply received -   There should be a new master.cf file, called master.cf.rpmnew, which needs to replace master.cf. Do: # cd /etc/postfix # mv master.cf master.cf.old # mv master.cf.rpmnew master.cf # /etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix restart ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
defox94085 : 13/10/02 10:54 PM : More info provided -   Well, there wasn't any *rpmnew files to be found. I have hand edited main.cf a few times, but not master.cf. If I add my current main.cf and master.cf files you might see what may be wrong with my configuration. As I recall, postfix requires virtually no configuration and this worked up until 9.0...

defox94085 : 15/10/02 05:37 AM : More info provided -   Thanks - it seems to be all fixed now. I didn't alter the master.cf file. What I did notice is a commented inet_interfaces bit - this was set to localhost, so apparently mail from the outside couldn't get through. My POP mail was deliverable via localhost (fetchmail) so that got through OK. Once I put the change in, I restarted postfix and some mail destined for the DSL address came through. Now I just have to resubscribe to all my mailing lists :( - apparently they might have shut me off because of all this downtime.
