Hi There,


I'm trying to install postfix server with the parameter below under master.cf

localhost:10026 inet n - n - 20 smtpd

every time when i do it error message comes up

bind 127.0.0.1 port 10026: Permission denied


I have defined
inet_interfaces = all

But sill no luck.


What are the permissions should be used by postfix and there?

The /etc/postfix owned by root as it should be.


Any help highly appreciated.

Thank you in advanced.

I see root:root on my box...

[me@myBOX etc]$ ll | grep post
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 3 13:08 postfix

[me@myBOX etc]$ cd postfix/
[me@myBOX postfix]$ ll
total 236

Hi There,


I managed to resolve the issue.


well done for myself yaha

I am having the same problem. I can't find anything else talking on port 10026. My file permissions are all set to root exactly as described above.

Care to share how you fixed it?
