No dynamic maps will be allowed

Hi Guys

I am receiving the following errors in my logs. Any ideas what could be causing it and how to fix it.

Aug 17 08:15:01 myserver postfix/showq[14353]: warning: dict_open_dlinfo: cannot open /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf.  No dynamic maps will be allowed.
Aug 17 08:20:02 myserver postfix/sendmail[14479]: warning: dict_open_dlinfo: cannot open /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf.  No dynamic maps will be allowed.
Aug 17 08:20:02 myserver postfix/postqueue[14479]: warning: dict_open_dlinfo: cannot open /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf.  No dynamic maps will be allowed.

thanks Allanit

Never seen this error myself, but it would suggest that the named file is missing/invalid on your system.

What distro are you using? What's the output for the following command? it should be like so.

root@australis:~# ls /etc/postfix/dy* -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 326 Oct  8  2012 /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf

The contents of that file are for me:

# Postfix dynamic maps configuration file.
#
#type   location of .so file                    open function   (mkmap func)
#====   ================================        =============   ============
tcp     /usr/lib/postfix/dict_tcp.so            dict_tcp_open
sqlite  /usr/lib/postfix/dict_sqlite.so         dict_sqlite_open
pcre    /usr/lib/postfix/dict_pcre.so           dict_pcre_open

Hi Locutus

My distro is Ubuntu Linux 12.04.1and I get.

> ls /etc/postfix/dy* -1
ls: cannot access /etc/postfix/dy*: No such file or directory

The strange thing is mail seems to be all working correctly???

Maybe Virtualmin doesn't use the "dynamic maps" feature of Postfix for its operation. :)

Recreating the file with the contents I posted would probably fix the error you see, except it's just part of a larger issue.

I a now receiving this warning from rkhunter:

/etc/cron.daily/rkhunter: sendmail: warning: dict_open_dlinfo: cannot open /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf. No dynamic maps will be allowed. postdrop: warning: dict_open_dlinfo: cannot open /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf. No dynamic maps will be allowed.

Yeah you probably need to create the /etc/postfix/dynamicmaps.cf file... it sounds like that was removed, and a missing file can throw errors and warnings and cause other kinds of trouble :-)

The contents should be as Locutus mentioned in his initial comment above -- and then just make sure the file is readable by everyone ("chmod 644" should be good).
