I'm an absolute newbie to unix so pls be patient I have been assigned to try and make a Postfix mailsystem work again. What happened is that the server crashed (HDD damaged/replaced) the files were restored from backup. Of course postfix doesn't work anymore. I tried to follow the documentation the person who set this up initally also followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-debian-lenny-p2 however with not much luck. Every time i had a problem or ecountered an error message I looked up google and got to the next step, up until the point where i can't get answers anymore from google. The problem now is that I cannot get into SquirrelMail (ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server) with any of the active accounts and the only error message I get from the mail.log is this: Code: May 30 23:08:37 srv1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Let me know if you need more information or the content of any file and I'll answer as soon as I can as I'm trying to figure this out for 2 days now (the whole weekend) and don't seem to get to the end... Any help would be much appreciated! Thx a lot in advance! EDITED: almost forgot something: mailx delivers the message, telnet localhost 25 is answering ok too, can logont to mySQL fine, tables seem to be ok...

thanks but still no luck... Thank you falco for the quick answer, however after adding those lines and restarting postfix, i can still not logon to squirrelmail using mydomain.eu/squirrelmail and [email protected] error message by SquirrelMail is still: Code: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. in mail.log: Code: May 31 14:51:02 srv1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] EDITED: to be more precise, let me paste the /etc/postfix/master.cf file's contents here (the original file had most of it commented out, i simply removed that part and added yours: Code: # # Postfix master process configuration file.

In your authdaemonrc turn DEBUG_LOGIN=0 to DEBUG_LOGIN=1 You might get some more information on what is happening.
is this relevant? DEBUG_LOGIN was not part of the file, so i added it at the end, however nothing changed in the mail.log - is this supposed to put the logs somewhere else? in the meantime i realized something is happening at times i don't touch anything and it repeats almost always at the same time, once at midnight and another time at 6.25 am: Code: Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/pickup[20172]: 1A45040216: uid=0 from=<root> Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20220]: 1A45040216: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 1A45040216: from=<root@localhost>, size=511, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/trivial-rewrite[20222]: warning: do not list domain mythird-domain.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/local[20223]: 1A45040216: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.07, delays=0.04/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "m.p") Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20220]: 26A5340217: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 26A5340217: from=<>, size=2318, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20220]: 2C0A540219: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/bounce[20224]: 1A45040216: sender non-delivery notification: 26A5340217 Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 1A45040216: removed Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 2C0A540219: from=<>, size=2448, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/local[20223]: 26A5340217: to=<root@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.03, delays=0.02/0/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarded as 2C0A540219) Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/trivial-rewrite[20222]: warning: do not list domain mythird-domain.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 26A5340217: removed Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/local[20223]: 2C0A540219: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<root@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.03, delays=0.01/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "m.p") Jun 2 00:00:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 2C0A540219: removed Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/pickup[20368]: 082B240216: uid=0 from=<root> Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20503]: 082B240216: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 082B240216: from=<root@localhost>, size=806, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20503]: 0F72440215: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 0F72440215: from=<root@localhost>, size=936, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/trivial-rewrite[20505]: warning: do not list domain mythird-domain.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/local[20506]: 082B240216: to=<root@localhost>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.62, delays=0.61/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarded as 0F72440215) Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 082B240216: removed Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/local[20506]: 0F72440215: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "m.p") Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20503]: 12FFE40218: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 12FFE40218: from=<>, size=2696, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/cleanup[20503]: 163D040219: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/bounce[20507]: 0F72440215: sender non-delivery notification: 12FFE40218 Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/local[20506]: 12FFE40218: to=<root@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.02, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarded as 163D040219) Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 12FFE40218: removed Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 163D040219: from=<>, size=2826, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/trivial-rewrite[20505]: warning: do not list domain mythird-domain.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 0F72440215: removed Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/local[20506]: 163D040219: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<root@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "m.p") Jun 2 06:25:02 srv1 postfix/qmgr[18873]: 163D040219: removed

Then you must remove Code: amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200 -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd -o content_filter= -o local_recipient_maps= -o relay_recipient_maps= -o smtpd_restriction_classes= -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8 -o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks,no_header_body_checks -o smtpd_bind_address=127.0.0.1 from your master.cf and restart Postfix.
was folder permission issue - new errors @falco: ok, i deleted it and restarted postfix important: the client just came back to me and he said the folder /home/vmail has to has owner "vmail". once he change that, i received a new error message from quirrelmail: Code: Error opening ../config/default_pref Could not create initial preference file! /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/ should be writable by user www-data Please contact your system administrator and report this error. i then went to the folder /var/lib/squirrelmail/data/ and tried to change its permission, but the only way that didn't turn back the same error message was 777 - well, I didn't try all versions to be honest, so what do you think, what should it be set to? also, what account should be the owner of this folder? currently it's set to vmail once i logged in i could see the email list (well, actually it was empty) in the middle but on the left hand side it gave following error: Code: ERROR: ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "INBOX.Sent" Reason Given: Cannot create this folder. I tried to give the .Sent (hidden) folder in /home/vmail 777 permission but that didn't help (it was on 700) still owned by vmail i tested sending and it worked, then i replied but that bounced back with error Code: The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table (state 14). also, the documentation says that when i create a new mailbox and send an e-mail to it with mailx, it will create a mailbox in vmail. well, i tested that and it did not work, can you help there? If i remember well i had to create the folder myself. now, after i tried to login there, i can see that it created a hidden .Sent folder but nothing else and also it displays the folder not found error in the middle (i guess it's looking for the non-existing Inbox folder) like the for the above, working account for the sent folder. i'm getting close, your help would be soooo much appreciated!
no errors in IMAP the client added that his laptop e-mail client setup with IMAP didn't report errors!
