/etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory After Virtualmin install

Hi guys,

After installing virtualmin GPL on a VPS I had some problems with the email service. Maillog was spitting out these errors:

postfix/smtpd[10690]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory
postfix/master[9441]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 10690 exit status 1
postfix/master[9441]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

Issuing a newaliases fixed the problem. Maybe it would be good to add this command to the installer.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Good idea .. I will add that to the install script.
