How do I view the contents of transport.db file in Postfix without the original transport file?

  • 772

A Postfix server was given to me with a transport.db file, but no original transport file from which it was derived? How do I determine what the original contents of the transport file were?

    Run file transport.db which may indicate some version of a Berkeley DB file; if so, something like db_dump -p transport.db (assuming db4-utils or such is available) would be one way of recovering the data. Another way would be to use some other interface to the BDB format, e.g. the Perl DB_File module or such. If the file is not in BDB format (or uses an older BDB format) adjust the tooling as necessary.
