There is some feeback from postfix:

But what I've to do?

tom

 

Please add domain-a.de at the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names and restart Postfix:

Code:

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

 

Run

Code:

dig mx yourdomain.com

to check if the MX record is correct.

any idea?

 

No errors when saslauthd is starting

I found an bloddy config mistake:

I've set up the mailbox_size_limit more than message_size_limit and now I'm receivng all the lost mail


What I don't now: Were can I edit message_size_limit?

What's the output of

Code:

ps aux|grep saslauthd

?
Which distribution do you use?

You can set it in /etc/postfix/main.cf. If it isn't set there, Postfix takes the default values that you can see when you run

Code:

postconf -d

 

I've added message_size_limit = 1024 in /etc/postfix/main.cf restarted postfix and then postconf -d|less but whis no change.

 

This sets the message size limit to 1024 bytes... I guess you mean 10240000 (10MB)?

Code:

postconf -d

always shows the default settings. If you want to see your current settings, run

Code:

postconf -n

Did you do the Postfix/saslauthd configuration as described here? http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge_p4

 

No, that should be smal for some tests.

ok

Exactly I did
