something wrong with mail & hostname

[mantasman]

users exist in these files :/
at the moment, my mail log looks like:

Jan 15 21:32:05 spider-webhosting pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, user=jo@thehostman.net, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jan 15 21:32:05 spider-webhosting pop3d: authentication error: Input/output error

and i still cant connect to ftp too

You really should consider a celan re-install instead of working hours and hours on a messed-up system... It's also very hard for us to tell you what's wrong with your system.

i found that maybe few self-compiled (not rpms) libraries did all the bad things.

i'll have clean debian 3.1 system in a hour

I was having the same problem. I couldn't get it to work by changing the /etc/postfix/main.cf "hostname" and "domainname" to my proper hostname and domain name, so i changed it back to being commented out.

This would give me bounce backs saying the can't find mailbox at "@localhost.localhost". So i just added localhost.localhost to /etc/posfix/local-host-names and did a /etc/init.d/postfix restart

now as far as I can tell, all of my virtual domains within ispconfig are catching email properly....
