    at the moment, my mail log looks like:
    Code:
    Jan 15 21:32:05 spider-webhosting pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
    Jan 15 21:32:05 spider-webhosting pop3d: authentication error: Input/output error

    You really should consider a celan re-install instead of working hours and hours on a messed-up system... It's also very hard for us to tell you what's wrong with your system. :(

    i found that maybe few self-compiled (not rpms) libraries did all the bad things.

    i'll have clean debian 3.1 system in a hour :D

    Same problem

    I was having the same problem. I couldn't get it to work by changing the /etc/postfix/main.cf "hostname" and "domainname" to my proper hostname and domain name, so i changed it back to being commented out.

    This would give me bounce backs saying the can't find mailbox at "@localhost.localhost". So i just added localhost.localhost to /etc/posfix/local-host-names and did a /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    now as far as I can tell, all of my virtual domains within ispconfig are catching email properly....
