postfix problem
Hi!
I just followed this tutorial on how to set up postfix.
When I try to send a mail to the account mentioned in the tutorial (sales@example.com) I receive a mail in my user account (/var/spool/mail/user) with the following:
Code:
From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Mar 3 13:35:07 2011
Return-Path: <>
X-Original-To: user@localhost.localdomain
Delivered-To: user@localhost.localdomain
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 13:35:07 +0100 (CET)
From: MAILER-DAEMON@phunix02.2contact.ltd (Mail Delivery System)
Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
To: user@localhost.localdomain
Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status;

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

I also installed Squirrelmail, but when I try to log in with the sales@example.com account I get the following error:
Code:
ERROR:
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
Does anyone know where I went wrong and how to make it work?
Thanks!

I don't get the issue you're trying to address. The message you posted looks odd. First DNS doesn't look configured properly on your server.
Then you appear to have an IMAP issue as well. Can you clarify a bit more for us?

Somewhere in the tutorial it shows how to send a mail to the sales@example.com account you've created and then at the end when you log in with the sales@example.com account in the webmail you can see the mail you send, however when I try to send this testmail it just gets returned by the MAILER-DEAMON and when I try to log on in the webmail it also shows an error.
So my issue is why doesn't the mail get delivered to the sales account like in the tutorial?

Any errors in your mail log?
Also, please make sure that example.com is listed in /etc/hosts.

Thanks adding the example.com to the /etc/hosts file solved the "Host not found" problem.
When I look at the maillog I can see a lot of things going wrong, but being very new to this I have no idea where to start solving them. Below is what I get when I try to send the testmail to sales@example.com
Code:

Please remove localhost.localdomain from your MySQL table.

Thanks, that solved the warning. But still not there..
When I try to send the test mail to sales@example.com it still returns, but the message changed a bit. Below the new mail.
Code:

Just a test
Also there are still a few weird things in the mail log:

Thanks for the help so far!

Please create an A record for 2contact.com or add it to your /etc/hosts file.

I've added 2contact.com to the /etc/hosts file. This is what my hosts file looks like right now:
Code:
127.0.0.1 phunix02 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost4 example.com 2contact.com
::1 phunix02 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
Also I don't think i'm blacklisted, unless the timeouts mean I'm blacklisted..
Code:
Listed 0 times with 4 timeouts.
But still nothing changed..
EDIT: there is another mailserver in the domain, could it be that's the reason why sending mail to gmail isn't working? The other mailserver has ip 10.0.0.12 and is also reachable at mail.2contact.com
This other mailserver runs microsoft exchange 2003, and when I check www.mijnip.nl it shows me this IP: 87.213.105.124 and says my host name is: mail.2contact.com ... is there any way to fix this (if this ofcource is the problem) and could this also be the problem why mailing to the sales@example.com doesn't work..?

What's in your mail log now when you send a mail to sales@example.com?
Is the server hosted on a dynamic IP? Most dynamic IPs are blacklisted; that would explain why GMail rejects your mails.
