Relay access denied

[KamiTsunami]

hi,

i did the perfect setup for debian sarge. i can send email o.k., but when receiving email, /var/log/mail.log shows "Relay access denied".

Mar 6 01:09:41 trackandfieldphoto postfix/smtpd[15466]: connect from mail.sysmatrix.net[65.170.133.30]
Mar 6 01:09:41 trackandfieldphoto postfix/smtpd[15466]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.sysmatrix.net[65.170.133.30]: 554 <root@TrackAndFieldPhoto.net>: Relay access denied; from=<randy@trackandfieldphoto.com> to=<root@TrackAndFieldPhoto.net> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.sysmatrix.net>
Mar 6 01:09:41 trackandfieldphoto postfix/smtpd[15466]: disconnect from mail.sysmatrix.net[65.170.133.30]

i restarted postfix, saslauthd, bind, and same errors. i followed the steps in the tutorial, and setup /etc/pam.d/smtp as i read on several threads.

i wonder what i'm missing ?

Is TrackAndFieldPhoto.net in mydestination in /etc/postfix/main.cf?

WOW THAT WORKED ! THANX ;-) now email is received in ~/Maildir/new.

then i tried pop email (Mozilla/XP) from my laptop, and i get:

i double checked the courier-pop3 sentences in the tutorial. hmmm...

Is MySQL running, and is the username/password correct? Please post the output of netstat -tap

hi,

i setup /etc/courier/authmysqlrc with the correct MYSQL_USERNAME and MYSQL_PASSWORD. still the login fails.

"netstat -tap" displays:

i found the problem, please ignore my last message. i had a mysql database with the exact same name 'provider' from some other server. i dropped it.

now, when i try to used mozilla/xp to access pop3, it can't find he database 'provider':

so i tried

apt-get remove courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl
apt-get install courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl

but i get the same errors. i guess i need the tutorial on how to setup 'courier- pop3'.

...randy in l.a.

Please check /etc/courier/authmysqlrc for the correct database details.
