Postfix: can't deliver mail

[DazzyB]

I have set up Postfix, MySQL, Courier etc etc... and everything looks good except that postfix can't deliver mail to local accounts

In webmin I get this status message in postfixes queue on an incoming mail:

connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused

.

Pls help.

Thanks,
Darren

Did you install any antispam/antivirus software like amavis, spamassassin and/or clamav ? If so, then it probably isn't running, or it isn't configured to allow mails from localhost.

Please give us some more info on the setup:
O.S. + version
output of main.cf
extra soft installed as av/spam ?

Thanks,
Thanis

Thanks Thanis
