Any database map file needs to be postmapped. The command for the default
type, which is usually hash, is the simple form of:
postmap /somepath/somefile
It does not matter if it is the virtual map, or some map for your
smtpd_*_restriction lists.
If you are using postmap to do some other map type you will beed to be more
explicit.
For example:
If you have the file /etc/postfix/good_recipients
postmaster@ OK
abuse@ OK
And the file
/etc/postfix/spamlist-extended.txt
You must
postmap /etc/postfix/good_recipients
postmap btree:/etc/postfix/spamlist-extended.txt
For the following to work
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
reject_unauth_destination,
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/good_recipients
check_sender_access btree:/etc/postfix/spamlist-extended.txt
See man postmap for more.
> How is this aliases.db created?
newaliases
man newaliases
> It it done periodically by postfix ?
No.
