Hi, Newbie here, followed the Perfect Server and Virtual Domain setup to the letter (almost). I can Code: telnet localhost 110 and get the response Code: root@aladdin:~# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. but when i do Code: telnet localhost 25 i get this Code: root@aladdin:~# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Now, i checked to make sure the response worked in between setting up Perfect Server Ubuntu 7.10 and Virtual Users and Domains Postfix.... and all worked fine. But when i got to saslauthd stuff, i think thats when it went pear shaped. here is my main.cf Code: # 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.

Which log file? Hi TopDog Could you possibly tell me which log file i should be looking at? i have gone into /var/log and run Code: grep error * with the following output Code: root@aladdin:/var/log# grep error * auth.log:Feb 5 14:46:10 aladdin saslpasswd2: error deleting entry from sasldb: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found auth.log:Feb 6 09:33:48 aladdin sshd[3935]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. auth.log:Feb 6 11:01:49 aladdin sshd[3935]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. auth.log.0:Jan 31 08:39:58 aladdin sshd[4030]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. auth.log.0:Jan 31 08:45:14 aladdin sshd[8763]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. auth.log.0:Jan 31 16:15:12 aladdin sshd[9061]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. auth.log.0:Jan 31 16:25:01 aladdin sshd[9128]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. dmesg:[ 13.571257] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. dmesg.0:[ 13.518357] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:21 install libgpg-error0 <none> 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:21 status half-installed libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:21 status unpacked libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:21 status unpacked libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:35 configure libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:35 status unpacked libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:35 status half-configured libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 dpkg.log:2008-01-31 08:24:35 status installed libgpg-error0 1.4-2ubuntu1 kern.log:Feb 6 09:33:46 aladdin kernel: [ 13.518357] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. kern.log:Feb 6 11:01:46 aladdin kernel: [ 13.571257] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. kern.log.0:Jan 31 08:39:58 aladdin kernel: [ 13.999572] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. messages:Feb 6 09:33:46 aladdin kernel: [ 13.518357] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. messages:Feb 6 11:01:46 aladdin kernel: [ 13.571257] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. messages.0:Jan 31 08:39:58 aladdin kernel: [ 13.999572] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. syslog:Feb 6 09:33:46 aladdin kernel: [ 13.518357] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. syslog:Feb 6 11:01:46 aladdin kernel: [ 13.571257] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. Kind Regards James PS> Thanks to whoever created the steps for Perfect Server and Virtual Domain Mail Postfix... It really was a big help to me and i honestly must thank you.
Seems like you are running debian i think postfix will log to mail.error mail.info and mail.log. I dont think it will log the word error. Try tailing the logs then telnet to the server Code: tail -f /var/log/mail.* You should see some thing like Code: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 1326 exit status 1
Absolutely right You were absolutely right.

You need this in your main.cf file Code: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination It is missing.
