Hi all.
I'm having trouble sending mail to my new domain. DNS is correctly setup, with MX record pointing to my Bubba. Now when I try to send mail to the domain I get replies saying "554 Relay access denied".

In my /var/log/mail.log (on the Bubba) I get the following:

Code: Select all

Apr  4 08:25:39 bubba postfix/smtpd[7835]: connect from pne-smtpout1-sn2.hy.skanova.net[81.228.8.83]
Apr  4 08:25:39 bubba postfix/smtpd[7835]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from pne-smtpout1-sn2.hy.skanova.net[81.228.8.83]: 554 5.7.1 <receiving_address>: Relay access denied; from=<sending_address> to=<receiving_address> proto=ESMTP helo=<pne-smtpout1-sn2.hy.skanova.net>
Apr  4 08:25:39 bubba postfix/smtpd[7835]: disconnect from pne-smtpout1-sn2.hy.skanova.net[81.228.8.83]

(I replaced the mail addresses in the code above)

Seems to me like postfix on the Bubba doesn't accept mail for my domain. Or am I wrong? I've checked in /etc/postfix/main.cf and the variable "mydomain" (which sounds like it should be relevant here) seems to be correct set. Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Ok. Replying to myself here.

It seems like this behaviour was induced by the variable mydestination being completely fubar. Now it works again. Almost.

Now the mail is delivered to the user (to the /home/username/Mail/new directory), but when I login to webmail it just says that the inbox is empty. What does it take for ilohamail to find the mail?

Ah! This is getting better all the time! Found out that the mail_location variable in dovecot.conf was gone. Now I've got mail in the webmail!

(For those of you wander why this happens to me, it's my own fault. Yesterday I tried installing mysql-server but decided that I didn't need it. When removing it I was a bit too quick on the trigger and removed mysql-common as well, which apparently pulled out dovedot and postfix. I hope I've now repaired everything I destroyed by doing that. Let this be a warning!
