I have read up on many posts to do with postfix not delivering emails and have posted this on someone elses thread so im starting my own for help I am running debian lenny from the perfect server setup, i have followed the tutorial for setting up postfix mysql and virtual users and have 7 sites running on my server. (NO ispconfig) I CANNOT RECIEVE EMAILS FROM OUTSIDE THE SERVER. the mail log says user unknown and bounces all email attempts. all my sites can send emails to each other, to gmail,hotmail,yahoo etc but none of the accounts will recieve. The emails are arriving at the server but my server is rejecting them as user unknown i have checked main.cf for example.com as i have it in mysql virtual db and it is server1.example.com here is the result of netstat -tap PHP: server1:~# netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:41287 *:* LISTEN 3037/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:10024 *:* LISTEN 3437/amavisd (maste tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:10025 *:* LISTEN 14949/master tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 3592/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 3026/portmap tcp 0 0 server1.local:domain *:* LISTEN 3392/named tcp 0 0 localhost.locald:domain *:* LISTEN 3392/named tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 3409/sshd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:ipp *:* LISTEN 4289/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 14949/master tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:953 *:* LISTEN 3392/named tcp6 0 0 [::]:imaps [::]:* LISTEN 4184/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 [::]:pop3s [::]:* LISTEN 4207/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 [::]:5900 [::]:* LISTEN 12406/vino-server tcp6 0 0 [::]:2381 [::]:* LISTEN 3501/hpsmhd tcp6 0 0 [::]:pop3 [::]:* LISTEN 4193/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 [::]:imap2 [::]:* LISTEN 4163/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 [::]:www [::]:* LISTEN 6107/apache2 tcp6 0 0 [::]:ftp [::]:* LISTEN 6048/proftpd: (acce tcp6 0 0 [::]:domain [::]:* LISTEN 3392/named tcp6 0 0 [::]:ssh [::]:* LISTEN 3409/sshd tcp6 0 0 localhost:ipp [::]:* LISTEN 4289/cupsd tcp6 0 0 [::]:smtp [::]:* LISTEN 14949/master tcp6 0 0 localhost:953 [::]:* LISTEN 3392/named tcp6 0 0 [::]:https [::]:* LISTEN 6107/apache2 tcp6 0 0 [::]:2301 [::]:* LISTEN 3501/hpsmhd tcp6 26 0 192.168.2.4%321357:5900 192.168.2.3%152466:3411 ESTABLISHED 12406/vino-server server1:~# can someone point me in the direction of things to check my emails should go to /home/vmail/ directory
