Migrating postfix database logs to pfsense 2.2
-
If you have postfix log databases from previous versions (2.1, 2.0), follow these manual steps to read logs on 2.2
First install sqlite2 to able to read old log files
pkg install sqlite rehash
then create and run the convert_postfixdb.php with this content
foreach (glob("/var/db/postfix/*.db") as $file) { $x=`head -c 48 $file`; if (preg_match("/This file contains an SQLite 2.1 database/", $x)){ rename($file,"{$file}.sqlite2"); echo "Converting $file to sqlite3 format..."; `sqlite $file.sqlite2 .dump | sqlite3 $file`; echo "ok\n"; } ?>
php convert_postfixdb.php
This convert script will not be native on postfix package as it may take too long depending on your db files and need old sqlite2 version to be installed
Current package version v.2.4.1, logs to database is not working on pfsense 2.2.
I'm working to fix it for v.2.4.2 as soon as possible.
Current status:- Database migrating (ok)
- widgets (ok)
- search mail tab (ok)
- logs to database (work in progress…)
Once you have tested converted databases, you can remove old .sqlite2 database files from /var/db/postfix.

After upgrading to 2.2 with the current postfix package installed.
I gotta be doing something wrong, I followed your instructions on converting the DB files. However nothing seems to be converting. When I go into the postfix folder the original db file is still there with it's original name nothing has changed.
My logs are filling with the following over and over

I've updated database log integration from sqlite2 to sqlite3 but if I send a pull request for it then postfix will not work on 2.1 too.
So until we find a way to fix it on current pfsense 2.2 pbi, I suggest to use postfix on 2.1(as a server for exemple on virtual machine) :-\

Looks like I'm downgrading to 2.1 then.
Thanks,
Sam
