i was following the "perfect setup guide suse 10.2" and setting up postfix, and when I get to the restart command, postfix is failing to restart. I followed the commands below, and nothing so far has had a problem till the restart, Is something wrong? or Did I Mess up? 7 Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS Postfix is already installed, but we must install Cyrus-SASL now: yast2 -i cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-crammd5 cyrus-sasl-digestmd5 cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-otp cyrus-sasl-plain cyrus-sasl-saslauthd Then we add the system startup links for saslauthd and start it: chkconfig --add saslauthd /etc/init.d/saslauthd start Afterwards we create the certificates for TLS: mkdir /etc/postfix/ssl cd /etc/postfix/ssl/ openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024 chmod 600 smtpd.key openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -out smtpd.csr openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in smtpd.csr -signkey smtpd.key -out smtpd.crt openssl rsa -in smtpd.key -out smtpd.key.unencrypted mv -f smtpd.key.unencrypted smtpd.key openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650 Next we configure Postfix for SMTP-AUTH and TLS: postconf -e 'mydomain = example.com' postconf -e 'myhostname = server1.$mydomain' postconf -e 'mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8' postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain =' postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' postconf -e 'broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_relay_domains' postconf -e 'inet_interfaces = all' postconf -e 'alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_auth_only = no' postconf -e 'smtp_use_tls = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_use_tls = yes' postconf -e 'smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_received_header = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s' postconf -e 'tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom' To enable TLS connections in Postfix, edit /etc/postfix/master.cf and uncomment the tlsmgr line so that it looks like this one: vi /etc/postfix/master.cf [...] tlsmgr unix - - n 1000? 1 tlsmgr [...] Now restart Postfix: /etc/init.d/postfix restart
