    Hmm this is the error I seem to be getting. I followed the tutorial http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-debian-5.0-with-bind-and-dovecot-ispconfig-3. Now of course some variables I had were as follows;

    * its a amd64 bit system
    * it is a VPS, so i had to compile pureftp to make it work
    * lastly I would like it to be a mail server, but I am alright with using a relay

    So far everything seems to be working but here is the mail log I get;

    Code:

    any help would be appericated as I have been searching through the forums for a few days and not found anything that seems to correct my issue.

    Are there any other errors in the mail log?
    What's the output of
    Code:
    cat /proc/user_beancounters
    ?
