mail delivery

I use usermin to send mails to different ppl on my domain unfortunately the mails don't get delivered. They get delivered to yahoo,gmail,etc. What should I do to correct this ?

Howdy,

You may want to take a peek in the error log to figure out what's going wrong... take a peek in /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log around the time you try to send the emails, and look for any errors that may indicate what's going wrong.

I couldn't find that particular time in the log however the entire log is filled with errors like

Oct 10 04:04:41 vps968 postfix/local[27959]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory

Oct 10 04:04:42 vps968 postfix/smtpd[27960]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory

and warnings like

Oct 10 04:06:44 vps968 postfix/master[27055]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/local pid 28085 exit status 1

Oct 10 04:06:44 vps968 postfix/master[27055]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling

Try running the command "newaliases", and then restart Postfix with: /etc/init.d/postfix restart

After restarting Postfix, you shouldn't see any errors like the above in the mail log.
