hi i have a problem with squirrelmail.. i installed it well and every thing looks fine . when i create an email account from ISPconfig panel i can use that account to login to squirrelmail but i cannot send or receive an email.. when i send an email it seems to have sent it but nothing happens.. the same applies to receiving.... no error message is shown on the interface .... iam really stranded here please help me iam new to ISPconfig 3 but i really need to get the server up and running i tried to follow this solution but all in vain: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/cannot-send-receive-email-through-squirrel-mail.61562/ thanks in advance ...
Take a look atthe mail.log file to see which errors you get there when you send a email with squirrelmail.
Till am sorry for the delay i think its (difference in time): ok here is a sample my mail.log file it looks very big.. it looks like there are some errors but cannot understand ..

What exactly did you change to fix the first error? And please post your postfix main.cf file and master.cf file.

the solution for the fast problem is that i had to edit main.cf file to below line mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
