Hi All, Thanks to falco First thanks to all for the great how to and website. I have installed a mailserver according to the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) HOW-TO. I have 2 domains. Local domain : nic.ga virtual domain : ossy-network.ga I sent mail to these two emails [email protected] [email protected] mail:# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. user [email protected] +OK Password required. pass ### -ERR Maildir: No such file or directory Connection closed by foreign host mail:# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. user [email protected] +OK Password required. pass #### -ERR Maildir: No such file or directory Connection closed by foreign host In /var/log/mail.log ------------------ Feb 20 21:28:36 mail amavis[2390]: (02390-09) PRESERVING EVIDENCE in /var/lib/amavis/amavis-20060220T212836-02390 Feb 20 21:28:36 mail postfix/smtp[2508]: C2C1A624035: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1], delay=7820, status=deferred (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 Error in processing, id=02390-09, creating_partsdir FAILED: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'mail.policy' doesn't exist at (eval 38) line 238, <GEN25> line 8.

I don't use a table "policy" in my tutorial so I guess you've changed it a bit? Please compare your configuration files with those from the tutorial.
I took to the configuration at the beginning I again sending well the méssages but I do not receive the mails. I am not also able to be even sent a message to myself. in /var/log/mail.log Feb 27 15:30:22 mail postfix/cleanup[3285]: 6B74930806F: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 27 15:30:22 mail postfix/qmgr[3264]: 6B74930806F: from=<>, size=3097, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 27 15:30:22 mail postfix/qmgr[3264]: 37D3330806E: removed Feb 27 15:30:22 mail postfix/smtp[3286]: 6B74930806F: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (mail for 217.77.77.26 loops back to myself) Feb 27 15:30:22 mail postfix/qmgr[3264]: 6B74930806F: removed
That's the problem: Please post the output of Code: hostname , Code: hostname -f , and the content of /etc/hosts and /etc/postfix/main.cf.

I don't know why Postfix writes instead of , but anyway... Please add 217.77.77.26 to the mydestination line in /etc/postfix/main.cf: Code: mydestination = mail.nic.ga, localhost, localhost.localdomain, 217.77.77.26 and restart Postfix.
I find why Postfix writes " mail for 217.77.77.26 loops back to myself " . because I filled out the transport table with domain: nic.ga and transport: smtp:217.77.77.26 I emptied the transport table. the problem remains always even I sending the messages which arrive but I do not receive. ******************* mail:/var/log# tail mail.log Mar 3 13:12:02 mail postfix/master[1808]: warning:

Are you sure you have Courier installed and not any other IMAP daemon? This looks like another IMAP daemon...
