Postfix doesn't connect to telnet

Hi all. First of all, thanks to Falko for his tutorials.
I have a system prepared for run as a generic Web Server. I use Debian Etch as OS and I've already installed all things necessaries (Apache Webserver, Php, MySQL, etc...).
All works so good, except Postfix, I don't be succesful to start it.
I follow these two tutorials:
1) The Perfect Setup;
2) Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier and MySQL.

Following this tutorials, all is ok and I'm able to get all the services started. For example, if I launch /etc/init.d/postfix start, it starts and looks ok.
So it doesn't work, and if I launch "telnet localhost 25", this is the response:

Code:

# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.

And nothing else matters.
All the other things in the 2nd tutorial are good and work fine.
I don't know what's wrong. Maybe I failed to write "server1.example.com", I wrote in all "hostname.dyndns.org", where hostname is my real hostname, obviously.
So, what is my wrongs? If necessary, I can post other, for example a configuration file, if you want to take a look.
I repeat: all the processes start good, following the 2nd tutorial I've problems only in the final command, when I must to launch telnet for testing the correct status.

I want to say thanks in advance for your support, and say sorry if my English is not perfect, cause I come from Italy.

 

Are there any errors in your mail log?

 

On /var/log/mail.log there are many rows like these:

 

Can you post your /etc/postfix/main.cf?

 

Of course:

In "domain.dyndns" there is my real domain name selected on dyndns.org.

 

Please run

Code:

postconf -e 'proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps'

and restart Postfix.

 

You're the boss! Now it seems to work (it responds to telnet, I must try enough the rest, but that's all I need for now).
Thank you so much.

 

Now it seems to work

You're the boss!!

Now it seems to work

Thank you so much.

 

Thanks a lot.
This is very helpful.

 

Can you please help me Falko? I'm playing around this postfix-game along one month ... and can't get it to work correctly!

I can send and receive emails to the world from real linux accounts ... but can't use squirrelmail or use virtual accounts

what else? any ideas? I really don't understand why authdaemond does such a strange SQL query as I posted in the beginning of my reply...


Please help if you will.

 

/etc/courier/authmysqlrc must look as follows:

Hello, i have the same problem of the first post of this thread.
Postfix is running, my tail /var/log/maillog in empty

Can you help me, please? Thank you

 

Postfix doesn't use /var/log/maillog .. instead take a look at these:

/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/mail.info
/var/log/mail.err

 

I don't have these files on my server
(i searched in /var/log and with 'locate' command)

 

???? I don't know why.... authdaemonrc file find and set next parametr value:

DEBUG_LOGIN=2

... this will give you detailed repost .. may be nothing hapends and that's why no files are being created ... also after making this setting take a look at /var/log/syslog .. it may also hold some information... go&conquer)))

 

and another one..that I'm thinking of ...you may have a mistake in your mysql_virtual ... files .. check if everything (especialy username for mysql) correct in these files.

 

Thanks for your help
My log files are still empty, all of them (i setted the debug_login = 2)

Now i'll go to check mysql configurations files

 

I checked mysql configurations and are right.

 

So .. is it working now ?

 

No, I'm still at the same point.

I can telnet pop3 and imap but i can't reach postfix on port 25
