    Hello,

    I upgraded my server from Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10 I was also looking around on the forums to see if someone had the same issue. They didn't have the same issue but there were similar ones regarding postfix screwing up. I can receive email from outside but I can't send email to others in the domain or on other domains. When I go to send an email it asks for my password which I type in and then it asks again. After a couple times it fails out with the following image.

    I ruled out invalid password as I have always used this password. I've ruled out ports being blocked as I have checked my router and the server firewall port 25 is allowed through.

    If anyone could shed some like it would be greatly appreciated.

    Wow. I overlooked the rest of the packages. Thought it was the same one repeated. That's what I get for being overly tired.

    Thanks, Falko!

    Hey there, Need help again.

    Since my installation was filled with a bunch of crap I didn't use I decided to reformat and only install what I needed. When I tried to follow this guide

    http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-u...x-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-11.04

    and log in with my user after I set it up, it fails.

    For these lines do I want mail.* or just the domain?
    Code:
    mydestination = wikiop.in, mail.wikiop.in,  localhost, localhost.localdomain
    mydomain = wikiop.in
    myhostname = mail.wikiop.in
    I also looked at the link above and did it yet no work. Here's what I have in my transport table:
    Code:
    Domain: wikiop.in
    Transport: smtp:mail.wikiop.in
    Edit:

    Noticed in mail.err
    Code:
    Nov 1 18:11:10 wikiop imapd: futilefreedom: No such file or directory
    Nov 1 18:11:47 imapd: last message repeated 3 times

    I strongly recommend to use an FQDN such as server1.yourdomain.com or mail.yourdomain.com. If you just use yourdomain.com, you cannot use it for virtual users anymore. Make sure that the FQDN you use exists in DNS (or at least in /etc/hosts).

    Please remove the transport and restart Postfix.

    Alright, I've done that to no prevail.



    Code:
    root@mail:/home/shadowmage# hostname
    mail.wikiop.in
    root@mail:/home/shadowmage# hostname -f
    mail.wikiop.in
    
    
    Hosts file:
    Code:
    127.0.0.1       localhost
    127.0.0.1       mail.wikiop.in mail
    Part of the main.cf
    Code:
    myhostname = mail.wikiop.in
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    myorigin = /etc/mailname
    mydestination =  wikiop.in, mail.wikiop.in, localhost, localhost.localdomain
    
    /etc/mailname
    Code:
    root@mail:/etc/postfix# cat /etc/mailname
    mail.wikiop.in

    Is this an Ubuntu 11.10 system? If so, did you replace the broken saslauthd packages?

    Yes it is server 11.10 and yes I have reinstalled the older saslauthd packages.
