I followed this howto by falko - http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.04-lts It is almost entirely working. I can send/receive email locally and can send to external networks, but I can't receive from an external network. I've done some research and made a few changes to my configuration based on what I read. This is my postfix main.cf: Code: root@jonopollard:/etc/postfix# cat main.cf # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

However, following those corrections doesn't seem to have fixed anything for me. Thanks for any advice in how to get to the bottom of this! jono
