Dear All, i have followed the manual to create a virtual mail server (postfix,dovecot, mysql, squirrelmail), but the weird thing is, everything seems to be ok. i can log in, send mails to another domain, but i cant find anymails in the inbox, even if i send from a local account (virtual user).

Here is my postconf -n output

command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost,
tessua.udsm.ac.tz
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf
virtual_gid_maps = static:501
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-users.cf
virtual_uid_maps = static:501

and /var/log/maillog gives nothing, than

I'm having a similar problem. After working through the tutorials here, and googling around, I was able to get the email server running. Can send using SquirrelMail. Postfix Admin can use MySQL. Mail directories are automatically created.

I can send and receive locally.

But cannot receive emails from outside the system.

I'll keep working on it.

Anyone have ideas on what I should check first?

Thanks,

Ginger
