Mail directory problem need help

I have installed http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-debian-lenny document everything work, but when I create user with mailx (mailx [email protected]) it not create mailbox user, I find in /home/vmail this not show directory of tkp1969.
How I can do?
Best regards.

 

What's in your mail log when you send a welcome message?

 

You should send a message to the user which will create the home directory. If that does not work, indeed send mail log as said above.

 

today I try install on ubuntu 8.04 and found problem too.

mylog

mypostfix config

regards.

 

Please add mail.npru.ac.th to mydestination in your main.cf and restart Postfix.

 

main.cf in postfix

 

Did you restart Postfix?

 

Sure I restart postfix and restart the server. When I test mailx again the problem is same.
I test implement the server with ubuntu 8.10, debian 4.0 and debian 5.0 again but, this same.

 

What are the outputs of

Code:

hostname

and

Code:

hostname -f

, and what's in /etc/hosts and /etc/mailname?

BTW, does this look correct?

Code:

mh1:~# dig mail.npru.ac.th

This you see is correct, but when dig mail.npru.ac.th, I configure mail.npru.ac.th into my dns server, I remove old mail in my dns and reconfigure agian this show

when I test again mail.log this show

and I don't understand mail.log show

I'm still seeing the wrong IP, so maybe something went wrong in your DNS configuration.

BTW, MX records must point to A records, not to CNAME records:

Code:

mh1:~# dig mx mail.npru.ac.th

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> mx mail.npru.ac.th
;; global options:  printcmd

Please change that.

You cannot use mail.npru.ac.th as a virtual domain in the databasse if this is the hostname of the server at the same time. Either rename the server or use a different domain in the database.

 

This now I change dns record to correct

when dig mx npru.ac.th this now show

dig mx mail.npru.ac.th

when I test mailx again mail.log show
