Debian Squeeze virtual user postfix setup with courier / spamassassin /...

I have followed the above install guide on a new Debian Squeeze machine and i am having difficulties getting to actually work.

I followed the guide completely without the last step ( squirrelmail ).

Problem : when i do a telnet to mail.xxxx.eu 110 ( POP3 ) login as user@xxxx.eu
with my password ( entered in the DB with the encrypt SQL command ) i get the following error :

-ERR chdir xxxxx.eu/user/ failed

and then the connection gets automatically dropped.

Second of all, i have sent 6 test emails and the /home/vmail folder seems empty ...

Can someone assist on what the problem could be ?

Thanks !

UPDATE :

in the mail log was following error / warning :

Code:



dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while receiving the initial server greeting

Now i was able to fix this error with adding localhost to inet_addresses in /etc/postfix/main.cf

but now i still dont receive email with following message :

Code:

Also ; this appears in the mail logs and in the syslog file :

Code:

And yes, AMAVISD and such is running ...

According to http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...tu-8-04-a.html this could be related to name resolution. Do you have valid nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf?

Dear falko,

i have found that post as well and its big bullshit :)
I have a Hetzner machine and therefor, my resolv.conf has hetzner's NS ip's listed.

So yes, i am 400% sure that the servers listed there are valid ;) since resolving is working just fine :)

I personally think it has something to do with amavis, since one of the logs said "cannot find file specified " ...

I'm running out of ideas... :(

Is there really nothing else you can think off ? :(
