Falko Timme, I found this How-to to be very useful,Infact its one of the best available on the internet and easy to follow.However the mail system is still not working for me...Initially i thought Courier -Imap was the issue when i tried: Now,I'm afraid postfix isnt functioning as well.The mailbox is created in /home/vmail/ , isnt it?I sent an email to user david but find that no mailbox is being created in /home/vmail.......I made sure there are no typo errors and followed the tutorial word by word.However i didnt install Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV,left out web mail as well .But i assume that wouldnt be a problem as far as the basic functionality is concerned,would it?..... What am i missing here?What debugging steps do i need to follow now?
