    And I am getting these from comcast because I have comcasts smtp server set as my relayhost. So basically the problem is my server doesn't see localhost.localdomain as my server.

    I'm not sure why it says localhost.localdomain.com (should be localhost.localdomain instead), but you can add localhost.localdomain.com to the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names and restart Postfix.

    I think when comcast gets the email to localhost.localdomain it adds .com to it because it probably thinks the user forgot to add .com or .net or whatevere it was. One thing that I know is my server doesn't see itself as being localhost.localdomain even though in my /etc/hosts files localhost.localdomain points to localhost

    I figured out exactly whats wrong now how do I fix it?

    I think I know what the problem is. When I installed Centos 5 by using the perfect set-up guide. I set-up MailDIR's then not liking how it was running later on I removed the two lines from postfix's main.cf and unchecked the maildir option in ispconfig. After that I got this same error message for all previously created mail users. How I solved it was to edit each mail user and then save it in ispconfig and ispconfig fixed everything. I guess admispconfig is still set for using maildir's how do I fix it.

    There'S nothing you must fix. admispconfig always uses Maildir, regardless of what other users use.
    Please try what I suggested above.

    I am trying your solution now. I only get these emails late at night so tomorrow morning I will have a look. I switched all of my email accounts over to Maildir. I have some old /var/spool/mail files from a previous server and would like to know how I can convert them from mbox to maildir.

    I still can't figure out mb2md

    What problems do you have with mb2md?

    I added localhost.localdomain.com to that list and I still get those undeliverable emails every morning. Any other Ideas??

    I think ISPConfig removed localhost.localdomain.com before all of the undeliverable emails were sent out because I just checked the localhost names file for postfix and it wasn't there.

    Also All of the undeliverable messages are coming from comcast. So I think my server relays all of the email statistics messages to comcast. Comcast then tries to deliver them then sends them back to me. So I think each set of undeliverable messages are two days old because comcast says it tried to deliver these messages for two days before it sent them back.

    and when my server sends out these emails to comcast it sends them as localhost.localdomain. Comcast is adding the .com

    Did you add localhost.localdomain.com at the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names (below the line #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ####)?
