Somehow after following the "Perfect Server" guide for Ubuntu 13.04 with nginx, the configuration for postfix and dovecot were not completed. (I noticed that the questions that the guide said would appear when installing the mail software did not quite match the questions I was actually prompted with at the command line.) I've been trying to complete the configuration myself, but I'm having trouble. I can set up accounts that are associated with UNIX users, but that's not going to work for us in the long run. I need to be able to create and administrate mailboxes through ISPConfig 3 the normal way- so I need to get postfix and dovecot working with the MySQL tables that were created. Is there an example of what the main.conf and master.conf should look like after installing ISPConfig 3?
There should be no additional configuration nescessary. Which exact error messages do you get in the mail.log when you send a email to a user cretaed in ispconfig? Please note that it is important that you do not use a domain name that you want to use for email as hostname of the server and not anywhere in postfix main.cf and /etc/mailname. So if your domain that you use for email is yourdomain.tld, then you should not have yourdomain.tld in main.cf nor /etc/mailname. Like it is described in the perfect setup guide, use something like server1.yourdomain.tld or mail.yourdomain.tld there.
Thank you so much for the quick reply! I think my server name is OK. Just checked the log, here is what I'm getting: Code: Sep 20 08:05:09 server postfix/smtpd[9017]: 298DB7013FB: client=mail-vc0-f176.google.com[209.85.220.176] Sep 20 08:05:09 server postfix/cleanup[9024]: 298DB7013FB: message-id=<CAC3weAtn4NzwM1Qi33p5KgJB2snMsm5fTeZYYjw6saSA2Y9+Hg@mail.gmail.com> Sep 20 08:05:09 server postfix/qmgr[8998]: 298DB7013FB: from=<[email protected]>, size=3182, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 20 08:05:09 server postfix/virtual[9027]: warning: recipient [email protected]: not found in virtual_uid_maps Sep 20 08:05:09 server postfix/virtual[9027]: 298DB7013FB: to=<[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=0.32, delays=0.28/0/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.5, status=deferred (mail system configuration error) Sep 20 08:05:09 server postfix/smtpd[9017]: disconnect from mail-vc0-f176.google.com[209.85.220.176] ...where [email protected] is an account created through ISPConfig.

Thanks, falko. I seem to be getting somewhere now. I think my dovecot configuration was similarly broken, because now I'm getting transport errors related to dovecot: Code: Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/smtpd[12968]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/smtpd[12968]: 7A71470150B: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/cleanup[12961]: 7A71470150B: message-id=<CAC3weAvWsbfDYqysUc86P6c5Ttp-Cho_gm42cFhcTFCcJrEg2g@mail.gmail.com> Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/smtpd[12968]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/qmgr[12401]: 7A71470150B: from=<[email protected]>, size=6755, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 20 10:02:41 server amavis[2045]: (02045-03) Passed CLEAN {RelayedInbound}, [209.85.220.179]:39041 [209.85.220.179] <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, Queue-ID: C8FCA701467, Message-ID: <CAC3weAvWsbfDYqysUc86P6c5Ttp-Cho_gm42cFhcTFCcJrEg2g@mail.gmail.com>, mail_id: l1lF3T6cCMFX, Hits: -0.089, size: 6209, queued_as: 7A71470150B, dkim_sd=20120113:gmail.com, 4526 ms Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/smtp[12963]: C8FCA701467: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=4.8, delays=0.27/0.01/0/4.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 7A71470150B) Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/qmgr[12401]: C8FCA701467: removed Sep 20 10:02:41 server postfix/pipe[12969]: 7A71470150B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.1, delays=0.04/0.01/0/0.06, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure.

The ispconfig updater can write a new dovect.conf file for you. Execute these commands as root user: Code: cd /tmp wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz tar xvfz ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz cd ispconfig3_install/install php -q update.php and choose yes when the updater asks if he shall reconfigure the services.
Ah, that's exactly the sort of thing I wanted to do. Will be handy in the future. After running that, I did still have a dovecot error about LDA missing postmaster_address. After adding that parameter the mailboxes worked as expect. Many thanks!
