Mail Server Problem after "How To Fight Spam Using Your Postfix Configuration"

I guess this is meant to "todgerme" the howto author of "How To Fight Spam Using Your Postfix Configuration".

I have a working Mail Server which I configured using the "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV)", and I wanted to add some additional spam filtering and I happen to read your howto tutorial and I tried configuring the said Mail Server.

After the configuration, I encountered this problem.

Code:

Dec 21 11:54:20 mail postfix/master[5183]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/virtual pid 5300 exit status 1

Dec 21 11:54:20 mail postfix/master[5183]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/virtual: bad command startup -- throttling

Dec 21 11:55:20 mail postfix/virtual[5301]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf: proxy map is not allowed for security sensitive data

I hope you can enlighten me and the rest on this matter.:confused:

What's the output of

Code:

postconf -n

Your Postfix configuration looks very different from the one in the tutorial...

Please try this:

Code:

postconf -e 'mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8'

postconf -e 'proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps'

/etc/init.d/postfix restart
