Hi everyone! Yesterday I set up a mail server on a server running Ubuntu 10.04 Server. I followed this how to: Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 10.04) As I dont want a web interface i skipped the last part with SquirrelMail. When I try to connect to the mail server using thunderbird i get the message that username or password is wrong and in /var/log/mail.err I can see this: Code: Nov 17 19:49:59 ks363811 imapd: test@<mydoma.in>: No such file or directory Nov 17 19:50:00 ks363811 imapd: test@<mydoma.in>: No such file or directory (real domain was replaced by <mydoma.in> so thats not the problem ) As i use virtual users and mysql there is an entry in the domain table with the domain i replaced and there is a user test@<mydoma.in> in the user table. I double checked the mysql settings in all that postfix / courier files and tried to find solutions or similar problems on google and the board search but i still cant figure out what i am doing wrong. dont see any mysql error in the mysql logs and dont get why i dont have access to the mail server. Any idea? Cheers, tobo
Hi, I finally got a working solution. After going over and over all the steps described in this HOWTO, I created a dir named "mydoma.in" in /home/vmail/ and a maildir for every user at this domain listed in the mysql user table with maildirmake <username> (without the "@mydoma.in" part as in the user table). That allowed me to login and sent mails with thunderbird to foreign mail servers but I wasn't able to receive any mails. In mail.info I discovered Code: postfix/trivial-rewrite[4228]: warning: do not list domain mydoma.in in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Google finally told me the answer: The entry for the domain in the mysql domain table can't be the same as set for mydestination. So i changed mydestination to mail.mydoma.in with Code: postconf -e 'mydestination = mail.mydoma.in, localhost, localhost.localdomain' and Code: postfix reload solved my problem. Can anyone tell me if this is the way it's done or am I just using some kind of workaround? Cheers, tobo
