Postfix Failed to Start - NEW CONFIG

[Ian Cope]

Hi,

I'm new to PostFIX, found this GoogleGroup, and thought I would reach out, for some group help.


I'm following the following website to setup PostFIX using WebMin.

http://postfixmail.com/blog/index.php/using-webmin-to-set-up-postfix/

I entered the domain information:

myhostname = mail.example.com
set interfaces "inet_interfaces = all"
mydestination = $mail.example.com
mydestination = $example, $example.com

i edited the root aliases file, and ran the 'newaliases' command.

and when I fired up the postfix service, I received a 'failed to start' message.

any help would be appreciated.
