Hi all, I installed postfix on a new box running Centos 5.x with webmin installed. I was having problems receiving email but not sending out email. So i edited this line Code: #inet_interfaces = all #inet_interfaces = $myhostname #inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost inet_interfaces = localhost When I did that restarted postfix and dovecot postfix failed to restart. When I checked in webmin I got this error Code: Error while checking current Postfix configuration. Please manually fix Postfix configuration. postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory So I set the configuration in main.cf back to the default but it still would not fix postfix.

I tried to stop sendmail and just have postfix start up but that did not work either Code: ]# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop Shutting down sm-client: [ OK ] Shutting down sendmail: [ OK ] [root@chromacars raul]# rpm -e sendmail-cf [root@chromacars raul]# rpm -e sendmail warning: /var/log/mail/statistics saved as /var/log/mail/statistics.rpmsave [root@chromacars raul]# /etc/init.d/postfix stop Shutting down postfix: [FAILED] [root@chromacars raul]# /etc/init.d/postfix start Starting postfix: [FAILED] [root@chromacars raul]# tail /var/log/maillog Jun 12 04:02:03 chromacars sendmail[4972]: m5C822Wf004972: from=root, size=1956, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=root@localhost Jun 12 04:02:03 chromacars sendmail[5220]: m5C823gZ005220: from=<[email protected]>, size=2208, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=chromacars.net [127.0.0.1] Jun 12 04:02:03 chromacars sendmail[4972]: m5C822Wf004972: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31956, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (m5C823gZ005220 Message accepted for delivery) Jun 12 04:02:03 chromacars sendmail[5223]: m5C823gZ005220: to=<[email protected]>, ctladdr=<[email protected]> (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=32414, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent Jun 12 11:11:03 chromacars postfix[9229]: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory Jun 12 11:11:04 chromacars postfix[9231]: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory Jun 12 11:13:49 chromacars postfix[9443]: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory Jun 12 11:13:50 chromacars postfix[9445]: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory Jun 12 13:31:28 chromacars postfix[10677]: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory Jun 12 13:31:37 chromacars postfix[10685]: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix inet_interfaces = localhost): No such file or directory [root@chromacars raul]# [root@chromacars raul]# thoughts? ideas?
