Ive followed the tutorial on here but mail doesnt get delievered properly, nor can i connect to the server with my email client? How can i diagnose the problem to help you guys assist me? Thanks, Jack
The fisrt place to look is in your mail log. /var/log/mail.log It should list errors there to give you idea of where to start.
Right ive attached part of mail.log because the error just seems to repeat. i can see that it cant lookup a table but i dont know where to start or what to check on that.

Check your "/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_*.cf" files and double check that the "mail_admin" & "mail_admin_password" are identical in all of them. the files can be found here: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-ubuntu-7.10-p2 The "mail_admin" & "mail_admin_password" should also be the exact same in these files: /etc/pam.d/smtp /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf /etc/courier/authmysqlrc make sure there are no blank spaces after them ( except for /etc/pam.d/smtp ) and upper and lower cases, numbers, hyphens, etc. match exactly. any small typo will cause the system problems.
Right, i can now access my mailbox and everything after manually recreating the mail_admin account using phpmyadmin. But i cant send mail outbound nor recieve email inbound it seems when i do i get Code: Feb 9 11:13:18 pandora amavis[22205]: (!) DENIED ACCESS from IP 192.168.2.34, policy bank '' Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks Jack
It looks like ip 192.168.2.34 is trying to connect amavis and it should be 127.0.0.1 Check /etc/hosts and make sure the following line exist at the top of the file: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Also check you /etc/postfix/main.cf for the following: myhostname = server1.example.com mydestination = server1.example.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
I still believe the problem exist between postfix and amavis. I feel that it has to be something in one of those configurations that is causing the problem. The only files that should be involved are the config files for these 2 programs. Here is how my mail.log looks after a message is received. Notice how Postfix is running as localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] when connecting to Amavis.

I run the same system for email.
