Mailserver / Postfix Problems

First I followed the http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_po..._quota_courier Howto.

I had to solve a "small" problem with the mysql access, -> http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...=6190#post6190.

and now I stuck (I think so ???) with a general mailserver problem.

I think my mailserver doesn't accept mails... and because of this I cannot activate my accounts.

mail.log

As you can see in the log, I tried to send a mail from michael@### to office@### to activate the office account.
But what are these "root-mails" , as you get now, I am new in Linux...

So probably it's a simple problem and somebody can help me...

Michael

It seems as if Postfix is running a bit unstable on 127.0.0.1.:confused:
Please post /etc/postfix/main.cf and the output of

I had syscp preinstalled on my debian sarge system.

I deinstalled it because I wanted a more transparent system.

Probably this is the source of all the problems....

There seem to be missing a few lines (e.g. proxy_read_maps) in /etc/postfix/main.cf that are in the tutorial ( http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_po...ota_courier_p2 ). Please run

Code:

postconf -e 'mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8'

postconf -e 'virtual_overquota_bounce = yes'

postconf -e 'proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps'

I inserted the missing lines and restarted postfix with /etc/init.d/postfix restart.

Seems to be a problem with amavisd which runs on port 10024... Can you see that amavisd is running when you execute

Code:

ps aux

Code:

netstat -tap

?
Please compare your configuration with the amavisd part of the tutorial and check if there are differences...

I checked the amavisd configuration...

changed the following lines in /etc/init.d/saslauthd (I had an preinstalled debian ) from:

Code:

PWDIR=/var/run/saslauthd

PIDFILE="/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid"

to:

Code:

PWDIR="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}"

PIDFILE="${PWDIR}/saslauthd.pid"

dir="root sasl 755 ${PWDIR}"

ps aux

It is definitly a problem with amavis!

I deactivated amavis and everything works fine....

That's strange...:confused: Might be because it is a pre-installed Debian. You never know what you get when someone else installs a system for you...

...thanks a lot!

I will try to get also amavis running, but for now I am happy with this...:)
