postfix configuration

pop-before-smtp.db won't update

[jamie]

in order to relay i have installed the pop-before-smtp.pl and it appears to have been installed correctly.

i have added the following to main.cf

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp, check_relay_domains

but everytime i connect, the pop-before-smtp.db doesn't update itself from the /var/log/maillog

am very confused.

p.s. this is actually a continuation of the sendmail thread, but i'm pretty sure, no one who uses postfix would answer a sendmail thread. sorry to mods if not allowed.

many thanks

Have you done a

postmap /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp

to convert the text file into the appropriate format?

andreas,

yes. it appears to be a correcly formatted pop-before-smtp.db

my maillog doesn't give any errors either when i start o stop either postfix or pop-before-smtp.

ls -l:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Jan 31 10:07 /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp.db

(10.07 is the date is was created. since then no connections from me have been logged)
