Perfect Ubuntu Mail Problems

[parkerj]

I installed Ubuntu 6.06 and I am having trouble sending and receiving mail. This is the first time. When I was using Debian Etch, I did not have this trouble. Below is an excerpt of /var/log/mail.info

Mar 22 23:39:32 securetrp imaplogin: LOGIN, user=web1_support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP
Mar 22 23:39:32 securetrp imaplogin: LOGOUT, user=web1_support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0
Mar 22 23:40:32 securetrp imaplogin: LOGIN, user=web1_support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP
Mar 22 23:40:32 securetrp imaplogin: LOGOUT, user=web1_support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0
Mar 22 23:41:32 securetrp imaplogin: LOGIN, user=web1_support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP
Mar 22 23:41:32 securetrp imaplogin: LOGOUT, user=web1_support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0

Please click here for my dns report. /etc/hosts contains

64.79.209.234 server1.securetrp.com localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 securetrp.com securetrp localhost localhost.localdomain

I can send email, but I cannot receive email. Thanks for your help.

The above lines are from imap logins and not from sending a email. Please send a email and post the lines that appear then in the mail log.

/etc/hosts:

The line:

64.79.209.234 server1.securetrp.com localhost localhost.localdomain

must be:

64.79.209.234 server1.securetrp.com

You can not define localhost for 2 different IP addresses.

Ok, I changed what you said in /etc/hosts and I sent an email. There was no message that occurred in mail.log, but below is what I get from mail.warn:

Thank you. But I still cannot send email to myself. when I send email, I get back the following message:
