Mac Tip: Fixing Postfix after Time Machine restore

Posted by Felix Geisendörfer, on Feb 23, 2008 - in Everything else

Jo folks, just a real quick tip that took me a while to figure out. If you restored your OSX 10.5 system with a TimeMachine backup recently, you might have noticed that it breaks postfix. Thats because some files are excluded from the backup.

The fix is fairly simple:

Run 'sudo /etc/postfix/post-install create-missing' from the Terminal and restart your system.

Now you should be able to test email sending in your web applications again : ).

HTH,
