Hi

ok, please post the output of "postconf -n".

Please also have a lok in /etc/postfix/ispcp/mailboxes and see if your mail address is there.

The logfiles should be in /var/log/mail.info or mail.err or something mail.* - maybe you find som relevant lines there which might help...

[joximu]

There is another test command:

sendmail -bv email@address.com

with the address which makes problems... then the user root gets an email with more information...

Can you check if /var/mail/virtual/domain/user does exist...

Maybe the "myhostname" should not only be ispcp but maybe mail.yourservername.com or similar... (not the same as mydomain and not a domain name of the customers...)

[wb6vpm]

sendmail -bv wb6vpm@blah blah blah server

Quote:[root@www sysconfig]# sendmail -bv wb6vpm@blah blah blah server
wb6vpm@blah blah blah server... User unknown
[root@www sysconfig]#

/var/mail/virtual/blah blah blah server/wb6vpm does exist

changed hostname to mail.blah blah blah server

[wb6vpm]

am restarting the entire box, to see if that helps. (cuase even after changing hostname, it still gave same error as above)

[wb6vpm]

ok, with reboot, the sendmail -bv wb6vpm@blah blah server i get this:

Quote:[root@mail ~]# sendmail -bv wb6vpm@dodgeintrepidchat.net
wb6vpm@dodgeintrepidchat.net... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host dodgeintrepidchat.net., user wb6vpm@dodgeintrepidchat.net
[root@mail ~]#

but i still get an error when i try to send to it
