Jun 9 11:31:48 AKGServer postfix/smtp[10015]: fatal: open dictionary: expecting "type:name" form instead of "hash:"
Jun 9 11:31:49 AKGServer postfix/master[9930]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 10015 exit status 1
Jun 9 11:31:49 AKGServer postfix/master[9930]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup – throttling
plz im on mac os server…cant figure out whats going on…plz help!!
Misconfiguration. I suspect you’ve misconfigured the virtual_alias_maps field, but any other maps option could be wrong.
Maps are always configured in the form:
hash:/path/to/file
It looks like maybe you’ve just given it “hash:” without a path to a file. That’d be wrong. 
Joe would be absolutely correct 
help…now i’ve got this:

I have no idea. I’ve never seen errors like that, but I’m guessing some directory configured for the queue doesn’t exist or isn’t writable by the user Postfix is running as. But that’s just a guess.
How did you install Postfix?
leopard server
leopard server ??
How about expanding that to a OS or Distro
Mac OS server…more specifically Leopard…btw how can i change the outbox port for postfix?..
ok…i got port 25 open from my isp…i can send mails to gmail now…but not to much other…this is my error log…
