I have been following the "The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft)" tutorial step -by-step and everything seems to going fine, except, for one step. It is on page 37 of the guide (pdf) and states: 1- mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword 2- mysqladmin -h myserver.mydomain.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword When Run the 1st command, it seems to run fine, BUT when I run the 2nd command, I get the following error: error: 'Host 'mail.bridgesofhopeinc.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server Any ideas on this error? I am sort new with mail servers and such, but know a little about linux and any help would be appreciated. I am using edgy eft 6.10 Desktop edition (NOT server edition) I do not know if this matters or not. -sobeitchuck
Dont worry about that. Proceed with the next steps and when youare finished you may login with e.g. phpmyadmin and cahnge the password for the second hostname too.
Another issue I have followed all of the commands up to page 44of57. Among the steps, it requires me to telnet into my localhost 25 and type command: "ehlo localhost". I am supposedly able to see lines such as: 250-STARTTLS and 250-AUTH However this is all I see: 250-mail.domainname.com ESMTP Exim 4.62 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 250-SIZE 52428800 250-PIPELINING 250-HELP Any help is appreciated and if you need config files, I will gladly submit them. Thanks sobeitchuck

Maybe you can read this one better: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

I've just read your previous post again and see that Exim is running instead of Postfix. Please stop Exim and start Postfix instead, and everything should be ok.
