Hello, I've juste followed the Ubuntu 16.04 perfect server guide. Everything seems to work except one thing : I can't receive any email. But I can send them, use IMAP ... Do you have any idea that could help me ? This is the first server I'm configuring. I'm not sure of what log could be helpful so here is my /var/log/mail.log : Code: Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/smtpd[1471]: connect from mail2.otherserver.com[12.34.56.78] Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/proxymap[1327]: warning: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf is unavailable. open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf: Permission denied Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/trivial-rewrite[1328]: warning: virtual_mailbox_domains: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf: table lookup problem Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/trivial-rewrite[1328]: warning: virtual_mailbox_domains lookup failure Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/proxymap[1327]: warning: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf is unavailable. open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf: Permission denied Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/trivial-rewrite[1328]: warning: virtual_mailbox_domains: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf: table lookup problem Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/proxymap[1327]: warning: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf is unavailable. open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf: Permission denied Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/trivial-rewrite[1328]: warning: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf lookup error for "[email protected]" Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/trivial-rewrite[1328]: warning: transport_maps lookup failure Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/smtpd[1471]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail2.otherserver.com[12.34.56.78]: 451 4.3.0 <[email protected]>: Temporary lookup failure; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail2.otherserver.com> Aug 21 02:55:06 myserver postfix/smtpd[1471]: disconnect from mail2.otherserver.com[12.34.56.78] ehlo=2 starttls=1 mail=1 rcpt=0/1 data=0/1 quit=1 commands=5/7

"Permission denied" on each file in /etc/postix. I did a chmod 755 on /etc/postfix, nothing changed. Should I change permissions on the files ? How ?
It works ! Thanks a lot vinsan ! After doing this I also had this problem. I fixed it following the solution in the comments.
Great ! try to look at mind one, if you have time too https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/is-possible-assign-to-specify-server.73779/
Kept receiving this error. I haven't been receiving emails, seems they are being queued. smtp-deb6 postgrey[6888]: action=pass, reason=client whitelist, client_name=mail-yw0-f182.google client_address=xxx.xx.xxx.xxx, sender=email@gmail, recipient=email@mydomain Oct 25 06:19:01 smtp-deb6 postfix/qmgr[18351]: E054C1A38144: from=<email@gmail.>, size=2487, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
