    Possible solution

    I guess you made a mistake when you defined your domainname.
    You've set this to example.com but it must be your own domainname or localhost.

    If what i suppose is correct, you can change your configuration with this instruction.

    Login into your server as root and navigate to your squirrelmail web-directory.
    Within your Squirrelmail web-directory give the command:

    cd config

    Startup the Configuration program:

    ./config.pl

    The Squirrelmail main menu appears.

    In the main menu select 2
    Select 1 and enter your domain name
    Select 3 and define your smtp server (Sendmail or SMTP)
    Return to the main menu by pressing R.
    After reconfiguring, save your Squirrelmail configuration by pressing S.
    Press Q to quit.
