Postfix not working

[bullshit]

Hi:
I follow the Perfect Debian setup, and everything went fine till the moment when I tested Postfix. In the logs it shows like mail is delevered but nothing show up in the users' mailbox. Also sending mail is not working though according to the mail.log the mail has been sent succefully.
I have chekced all the places for error, but can't find a solution. Any help apreciated.

Thanks in advance
Cheers

Please post an excerpt of your maillog. Have you installed courier ans ISPConfig? then you will have to check the maildir checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > settings on the mail tab.

Hi:
I haven't install ISP just potfix + the usual LAMP in a Debian box.
This is the mail.log output

ANd this is the main.cf, very simple one:


smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

myhostname = dedic202-169.kotisivut.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = embirial.ath.cx, dedic202-169.kotisivut.com, localhost.kotisivut.com, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
debug_peer_list = embirial.ath.cx
debug_peer_level = 4
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix



I've googled and post the problem in 2 forums and still no solution. Any help apreciated before i become crazy with this headache

Please post the output of netstat -tap

I guess you use Courier as POP3 daemon, but Postfix delivers to mbox...

Hi:
Thanks for replying
This the outpout of the command

tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 4220/couriertcpd
tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 4133/couriertcpd
tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 17687/mysqld

tcp 0 0 localhost:postgresql *:* LISTEN 25039/postmaster
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 32557/master

*The smiles are not part of the log!!!

The problem occurred even before I installed courier and Idon't recall using o configuring courier as a smtp daemon

If I send a email to a fake user, Postfix actually replies with the Undelivered mail but if I send a mail like sendmail -bv jorge@domain.net, I receive nothing and Postfix logs like the mail has been mail sent.

Thanks in advance

Ok, you're using Courier as POP3 daemon (not SMTP daemon!) which means you must configure Postfix to deliver mails to Maildir. Run this:

postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
postconf -e 'mailbox_command ='
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

Voila.
The problem seemed to be the mailbox_command pointing to procmail, after emptying it started to deliver. I had the home_mailbox=Maildir/ already.

Thanks a lot for your time, Falko
