Hi,

please use this command, while you are sending an email form an external email account to an account on your server:
Code: 
tail -f /var/log/mail.info
Stop it when you see, that the external mailserver tried to send the email to you mailaccount with strg + c and post the lines from that action here! ;)
 
Hi Armadillo,

This is the tail you asked.

Thanks for helping.

Hmmmm... well I think the problem is this:
Code: 
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,
permit_mynetworks,=
reject_unauth_destination=
I think it has to be:
Code: 
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,
permit_mynetworks,
reject_unauth_destination
No idea, why it was formatted that wrong. If you change it to the correct format, it should work now! ;)
 
Hello Armadillo,

When i change these settings and reload postfix i get this:

Code: 
box:~# nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
box:~# postfix reload
postfix: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 68: missing '=' after attribute name: "permit_mynetworks,"
box:~#

and the same error ir gives at the reject_unauth_destination when i add a
= after the permit_mynetworks
 
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination

Try to give postfix the arguments in one line and not divided by newline
 
Hi again Centy,

I did what you said and were making progress!

i have added the email address droopy@....

when i go into webmail and login with this address i can send an email
to another address and it gots delivered, so this part works.

But, when i reply to the same email. I get a bouncer with this:

Code: 
This is the mail system at host box.scriptscentral.org.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

                   The mail system

<[EMAIL="droopy@scriptscentral.org"][COLOR=#0000ff]droopy@scriptscentral.org[/COLOR][/EMAIL]>: unknown user: "droopy"

Thanks again,

Anthony
 
Can you do:
cat /etc/postfix/vhcs2/mailboxes | grep droopy ?

And try to send a email to the account again while you look at the logfile and post the delivery here
 
Ok this setting is correct.

Now try to send a mail to that email adresse and give us the report of:
tail -f /var/log/mail.info
 
Here you go:

box:~# tail -f /var/log/mail.info
