Make sure that the quota patch applies without errors.

I rebuilt the package with no errors but it seems it continues working as the previous package. Since this is a testing machine I think I will start from scratch.

P.S.: Do you think that I will able to use this plugin using your settings?

Not sure. But this software seems to be based on SquirrelMail, so at least it's possible.

I am able to send mail out to a outside address but I can not receive any mail. This is from the mail log on an attempt to send mail from one user to another. User2 is both a virtual user (email) and a real user on eoins01. User1 is just a virtual user for email. As it wont receive mail it did not create mail file's I created them manually, at which point both suirrelmail and evoultion will allow me to send mail. Both also act as if they are checking for new mail. The fconnection refused error's always seem contains the servers hostname.mydomain.com along with its real world IP address.

This does not work. If user2 is a system user, then all emails will go to that account instead of the virtual user2 account.

Did you send a welcome email to that account?

The problem is not created automatic in the directory /home/vmail
When I made the directory manually squirrelmail wrote the following error:

Preference database error (no such table). Exiting abnormally

Everything done according to instructions.
I have 2 network cards. One real IP, and the other virtual.

[falko]

The directory is created automatically when the first email arrives - therefore my question.

What's in the mail log when you send such a mail?
