    Dear users,

    I'm facing an issue in a fresh installation of Ispconfig qith Postfix following the guide:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-s...hp-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4

    The problem is that I can't stop/start/restart posfix and the message I get everything i do it is:

    Code:
     postconf: fatal: file /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 28: bad field count
    postconf: fatal: file /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 28: bad field count
    in that file the line is:
    Code:
    smtps     inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd

    The info in that file is exactly how the guide tell me:

    Code:
    [...]
    submission inet n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
      -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
      -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
      -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
      -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    #  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
    #  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    #  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
    smtps     inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
      -o syslog_name=postfix/smtps
      -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
      -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
      -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    #  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
    #  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
    #  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
    #  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
    [...]
    As a result, I've that the SMTP service is not active in my VPS.

    What could be the problem in your opinion?
    I've no idea how to figure it out.

    Thank you very much for your help
    Best

    Here is the complete and working master.cf file from the tutorial.

    Code:

    # on-line: http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html).

    # Do not forget to execute "postfix reload" after editing this file.

    Thank you very much Till!

    I don't have any issues by starting and stopping the service.
    Many thanks!
