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 http://howtoforge.com/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch
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
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. see http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22665
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.
