I'm trying to configure mail forwarding through Gmail on CentOS 6 with postfix, following the blog http://carlton.oriley.net/blog/?p=31 and I think the blog has missed the step:
# postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
- as I've seen in the /var/log/maillog:
postfix/smtp[1926]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db: No such file or directory
<snip>
But when I try to run postmap, I get
postmap: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db: Permission denied
even though the postfix service is stopped, the SELinux is permissive and the file is writable:
[root@preferans postfix]# ll -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 20K Jun 25 14:50 access
<snip> One thing I keep finding very annoying with most versions of Linux is the alias for ll, which is *not* what I was used to in sun, Solaris, Irix, or Tru64. Out of curiosity, try ls -laF /etc/postfix, and the libexec, and let's see what permissions and ownerships the *directories* have.
