    Followed this tutorial + i added squirrel mail. It worked after i was finished then i commented out the bind address 127.0.0.1 in the my.cnf mysql file so i could access my database using navicat and im afraid maybe i borked it :(

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    Have you tried to restart amavisd?

    this is what happens when i send a mail to my server
    now it seems like the mail i send is just sitting in the queue and it's not attempting to send or receive even with a postconf -f but no errors :eek:

    What's the output of
    Code:
    postqueue -p
    ?
    Are there any other errors in your mail log?

    all my mail is timing out on initial server greeting, but it seems to send my mail late/ early in the morning around 1-2AM.

    this may or may not help but back up your main.cf file then find the lines below

    virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf
    virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf

    plus any others that have = proxy:mysql in them and delete the proxy: this was the only way i could get the tutorial to work for me.

    Seemed to have fixed my problem; I did remove the proxy line from my main.cf but i also needed to update my clamav

    inorder to do that i had to
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
    /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop
    lsof /var/lib/clamav/
    kill all of those processes

    then i had to add
    Code:
    deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free
    to my /etc/apt/sources.lst

    then i had to install the newer clamav components
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade -s
    apt-get install clamav-freshclam
    i didnt have anything that would break with apt-get upgrade so i went through with that and it upgraded the clamav-base installation.

    everything seems to be working hunky dory now.
