hi,

I installed on a Lenny a mail server according to http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-debian-lenny

it is a dedicated server hosted by OVH accessible via ssh on a static address (plus a fail over) and a domain name.

lenny has been updated before installing postfix

I also installed webmin

once everything done I get an error message connecting to squirrel mail saying ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

telnet on pop and imap are OK

I can send a mail to an outside account but the account created in the database does not exist and therefore I do not receive any mail.

mail.warn and mail.err are empty
mail.log and mail.info give

the DB contains
Table domains in database mail
domain r31465.ovh.net

Table forwardings in database mail
source postmaster@r31465.ovh.net
destination philippe@r31465.ovh.net

Table transport in database mail
domain r31465.ovh.net
transport smtp:[188.165.33.158]

Table users in database mail
email philippe@r31465.ovh.net
password xxxxxxxxxx
quota 10485760

DB user
mail_admin localhost
mail_admin localhost.localdomain
mail_admin r31465.ovh.net



the problem seems to be mail for 188.165.33.158 loops back to myself


I could not yet find any pertinent information going throught howto forum


thanks very much for any help.

hi,

Jan 5 08:04:39 r31465 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

Thats your first problem your imap daemon cannot access your mailstores.

The second issue with the loops back to me is because you have configured the mx to point to the machine and yet you have not configured postfix to accept mail for that domain.
