    Please post the exact error message and what you typed on the shell. Make sure that you are logged in as root user on the shell before you execute the command.

    What's in your mail log when you send a mail to your server?

    Hi Falko

    I came right sumhow, Im dtill not to sure what I did but I think Courier was faulty or not working so I deleted and insatalled another pop server and it works.

    poppy I think its called. Just out of curiosity will that impact the ispconfig setup or settings at all. I have noticed small things like the quotas for all my users I have setup I have to changes from -1(which used to be unlimited) to say 50 in order for it to work otherwise it gives inbox is full and bounces the mail.

    plus in my main.cf I have to physically put the destination for all my domains or it rejects it saying relay access denied or summin like that.

    Thanks for the help Falko and till I really appreciate it. At least the crises is over but I am still worried the original ispconfig setup is not 100% :(

    No.

    You mean for domains that are not on your server (like gmail.com or hotmail.com)?

    Nope.. I have 3 domains setup on my box. previously all I had under destinations was localdomain and the server name and it was fine. since reloading I had to add the other domains I setup in ispconfig to the main.cf.

    I guess you modified that file? Because the line mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names is missing. Please run
    Code:
    postconf -e 'mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names'
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart
