Hi.

I ha followed this danish guide to try to get postfix to work http://linux-support.dk/index.php?id=1, but i have some problems about getting postfix to work, i cant test postfix, because i cant start postfix, when i try to start postfix i get this error:

krazymail:~# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfix.
Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfixpostfix: fatal: /etc/postfix/postfix-script: Permission denied
failed!

Check the ownership of /etc/postfix/postfix-script and its permission set. I think that script has no executable bit set.

ls -l

Exactly -rw-r--r-- 1 root root for all files in that dir.

So, the execute bit isnt set on it.
type

Code:

man chmod

It will show you how to change the permission set to let you execute the file.
