    in /etc/courier/authmysqlrc I have MYSQL_SERVER localhost but I do not have MYSQL_SOCKET.. anyway I checked everything many times and everything is correct! I just got some warnings with pear install DB,
    WARNING: "pear/DB" is deprecated in favor of "pear/MDB2"
    WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "channel-update pear.php.net" to update
    I didnt filled out the transport table but it is meaningless I think.


    can someone help me please?

    thanks

    What's in /etc/courier/authmysqlrc? What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    Thanks for your answer, I'm out for work now but I will post the output later.. I remember anyway that following the tutorial: Postfix (master) listening on port 25 (smtp) and 10025, and amavisd-new on port 10024 ..was correct.

    Is it true that after I receive the first email then connection should works? is it a possible? is there a way to send locally (from mail server to mail server) a mail so I can check if it is true?

    I'm sorry I have many questions..

    Thanks for your support

    The MySQL password contains a special character. That might be the problem. Please change it.
