DBERROR: critical database situation

[justyn.pride]

I’ve just moved my server over to 10.4 from 10.3.9 and in the process am no long able to send or receive mail. I can no long receive emails from outside, or internally. I can connect to the server to send them, but they don’t get through to the receiver, whether they are internal or external. It gets queued.

If any one can make sense of the log below that would be great.

command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
content_filter =
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
enable_server_options = yes
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = localhost
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
luser_relay =
mail_owner = postfix
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mailbox_transport = cyrus
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
message_size_limit = 10485760
mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,newcommunitychurch.org.uk,office.newcommunitychurch.org.uk
mydomain_fallback = localhost
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/32,192.168.0.1/24,217.64.120.14/32
mynetworks_style = host
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /private/var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_pw_server_security_options = plain,login,gssapi
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination,permit
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_tls_key_file =
smtpd_use_pw_server = yes
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

I also have messages in the log like :

Dec 12 19:21:44 office pop3[15473]: DBERROR: critical database situation

and

Dec 12 19:50:29 office postfix/smtpd[25696]: fatal: net/mask pattern 192.168.0.1/24 has a non-null host portion; specify 192.168.0.0/24 if this is really what you want

Many, many thanks in advance

Thanks for the helpful reply. Unfortunately I’ve already tried the repair, and reconstruct commands, but to no avail. As the machine is my main one, I have had to revert back to the backup, and will attempt a upgrade to 10.4 another time.

I think part of my issue was how I moved the mail over from 10.3.9 to 10.4. I wanted a fresh install of 10.4 due to various hacks, etc.. to 10.3.9. I think I’ll stick to the normal upgrade path!

did you try the script from http://osx.topicdesk.com/downloads/ ? the mailbfr script might be what you need.
