Well, unless the link I sent you helped you with the the table locking
problem, ask over there for help on making sure that postfix is
accepting and delivering mail.  Or accepting at least.

Did you plan on having postfix or dovecot do the delivery (using dovecot-lda)?

Okay - fairly common setup.  I don't use postfix-admin, but if that's
what created your mysql tables that could also be a starting point to
look for the table lock errors.

Good luck!
