postfix can't find user

I followed the guide here: Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (CentOS 6.0 x86_64) and everything seems to be working properly.

I set up an account admin at jawlawky.com

I sent a test email using mailx and then attempted to login. Unfortunately, everytime I try to login using either the raw telnet connection or the SquirrelMail web access, I have trouble. Finding that the imap was having trouble changing directory (chdir admin/admin/: No such file or directory) and knowing that the server is supposed to create the directory, I check my /var/log/maillog file. What I see is (with the timestamp and servername removed):

Code:

Okay, so I've got something wrong with my database entries (I think). Oh, by the way, the FQDN is alvinadams.jawlawky.com - if that's important.

Here are my entries:

Code:

mysql> SELECT email, quota FROM users;

+-------+--------+

| email | quota  |

+-------+--------+

| admin | 262144 |

+-------+--------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)



mysql> SELECT * FROM domains;

+--------------+

| domain       |

+--------------+

| jawlawky.com |

+--------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

What am I missing? What else do I need to check? Does there happen to be a connection error with a component?

Thank you very much.

Can you post your main.cf?

Is admin listed in /etc/passwd?

passwd and main.cf

Code:

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$ sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep admin

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$

Find the main.cf attached. I am wanting to use virtual users for this server. (End goal is to have SOGo installed.)

Looks ok. What are the outputs of

Code:

hostname

and

Code:

hostname -f

? What's in /etc/hosts?

Code:

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$ hostname

alvinadams.jawlawky.com

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$ hostname -f

alvinadams.jawlawky.com

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$ cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$

I updated the /etc/hosts file to include the ip address for my computer and its hostname and hostname.domainname.

I decided to try and send again using "mailx admin@jawlawky.com" and this is what I got in the maillog:

Code:

[machtyn@alvinadams ~]$ sudo ls /home/vmail/

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/machtyn

What I found curious is that the system notified me I got mail. That hadn't happened before. But then, I was running in sudu -i mode previously when I did this.

Finally, I did find this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32663 that has a similar error as the one I've listed above. I'll try using its suggestions and get back here. Namely, putting mysql to listening on all ifaces and modifying the master.cf file for the maildrop option.

If there is something else, feel free to let me know. Thanks!

also, for what it's worth, here is my master.cf file before i try to edit using those suggestions.
