Linux Mail Server Setup and Howto Guide

Hi Consultant,

      I followed the topic Backup Incomin Mail in Postfix after configuring based on the topic the mail flow is not happening. I have checked in /var/log/maillog it shows as follows.

Oct 23 11:26:35 mail postfix/cleanup[5921]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: pcre
Oct 23 11:26:36 mail postfix/master[5422]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 5921 exit status 1
Oct 23 11:26:36 mail postfix/master[5422]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup: bad command startup — throttling

    Is that postfix package has no pcre support.Please guide me to solve this problem.

         Thanks in advance

Hi consultant,

I just downloaded the package postfix-2.5.1-1.mysql.sasl2.vda.rhel5.rpm from postfix rpm download section in vacation response,since vacation response needs postfix 2.5.1 package.But this postfix rpm doesn't support pcre.

By checking postconf -m it show following support.

btree

cidr

environ

hash

ldap

mysql

nis

proxy

regexp

static

unix

So i have configured bcc with regexp support.By doing the following steps and this method is very easy to configure also.

We need to put entry in postfix configuration file /etc/postfix/main.cf like this

recipient_bcc_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/bcc_regexp

sender_bcc_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/bcc_regexp

and creating file /etc/postfix/bcc_regexp with entry like this if we want all domains archive to one email-id

/.*/ bcc_email_id(ex:- user1@localhost.com)

if we want particular domain mails to archive put entry in /etc/postfix/bcc_regexp like this

/localhost.com/  user1@localhost.com

Then restart the MailScanner service.
