Post subject:  Need help with getting postfix sendmail working

I recently installed postfix based on the beginner's guide found here:
http://library.linode.com/email/postfix ... an-5-lenny

I'm running a wordpress install on LAMP with Debian 5.

The problem is that sendmail is failing. I checked the logs under /var/log/mail.err and it's showing the following errors:


Oct 16 23:27:50 simba postfix/smtpd[17468]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory
Oct 16 23:28:48 simba postfix/cleanup[17472]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory
Oct 16 23:28:51 simba postfix/smtpd[17474]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory
Oct 16 23:29:49 simba postfix/cleanup[17487]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory
Oct 16 23:29:52 simba postfix/smtpd[17488]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory



Can anybody tell me what's wrong?

The file /etc/postfix/virtual.db (the virtual address mapping database) does not exist. Did you remember to run
Code:
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual

after creating the /etc/postfix/virtual file?
