Postfix: postmap error with pcre

  • 772

I am using postfix-pcre on debian linux.

When I run postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks.pcre and postmap pcre:/etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks.pcre, I get the following error:

postmap: warning: smtp_header_checks.pcre, line 1: record is in "key: value" 
format; is this an alias file?

What is wrong? I have this in /etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks.pcre:

# Remove sender's IP address information
/^Received: .*/ IGNORE
/^X-Originating-IP:/ IGNORE
linux

    You don't need to run postmap on postfix's pcre files.

  2. You cannot run postmap on PCRE, CIDR, REGEX, or TEXTMAP files.

  3. The space between the colon and period in line one causes the postmap warning message.
