I am trying to get the mail system to work, but the stuff my logs turn up are getting me to pull my hair.

Code:

Feb 28 11:14:42 mariachi postfix/master[2434]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
Feb 28 11:19:40 mariachi postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system

Feb 28 11:20:13 mariachi postfix/master[3530]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling


It doesn't recieve any mails so, I guess it has something to do with sasl.

smtpd.conf
Code:

pwcheck_method: authdaemond
log_level: 3
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
authdaemond_path:/var/lib/courier/authdaemon/socket


Courier-AuthLib and everything is running. so I really dunno what is wrong.

Why guess? Just read the log. What to do is left as an exercise for the reader.

You have several problems:

Feb 28 11:14:42 mariachi postfix/master[2434]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

this means there is something wrong starting the smtpd service. You need to discover why postfix is not starting properly. This can be a bad command line in master.cf, improper main.cf settings, or other.

Feb 28 11:20:12 mariachi postfix/smtpd[3916]: warning: database /etc/mail/aliases.db is older than source file /etc/mail/aliases

This one means the aliases database has been updated, but no postalias has been run to update the .db file.

Don't ignore these or any warnings.
