After completing the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL step though (http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier). As far as i can tell i've completed it to the letter. Copies of my configuration files can be accessed here: http://220.233.179.84/mail-config/ But when i try to smtp myself an email i get this: Code: ehlo mail.example.com 250-mail.mediafluid.net 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250 8BITMIME mail from: [email][email protected][/email] 250 Ok rcpt to: [email][email protected][/email] 451 <[email protected]>: Temporary lookup failure Pop gives me this: Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. user [email][email protected][/email] +OK Password required. pass <<password>> -ERR Maildir: No such file or directory Connection closed by foreign host. Mysql Structure is as follows: (Transports not show because i dont have/need them).

mediafluid.net doesn't exist in DNS. Therefore Postfix can't find it: Code: dig mediafluid.net ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> mediafluid.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 25093 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mediafluid.net.

The machine running postfix doesn't seem to have any problem finding it Code: aaron@evo:~$ dig mediafluid.net ; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> mediafluid.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 60677 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mediafluid.net.

The other thing is that i dont have the domain pointed to this machine yet because i dont want to loose mail if the setup doesn't work I think i'll be more will to point my domain to the server when i fix these errors. Code: Mar 10 23:10:00 localhost postfix/postdrop[16493]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/591653.16493: No such file or directory Mar 10 23:10:01 localhost postfix/postdrop[15383]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/937108.15383: No such file or directory Mar 10 23:10:01 localhost postfix/postdrop[14833]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/116518.14833: No such file or directory
Never mind its all fixed. A reboot got rid of those file not found errors and its all working locally.
