Re: [Dovecot] Mail does not arrive at my server.

Obviously, then, this is a postfix issue.

Dovecot is simply an IMAP/POP3 server, it is not responsible for accepting mail from the outside, that is the job of your smtp server, in your case postfix.

I suggest you go ask on their list...

The only mails I receive are from the linux system as such (background kobs finished, etc...)

Again, the parameters I set are the following: myhostname = srv01.ipnspain.biz http://srv01.ipnspain.biz mydomain = ipnspain.biz http://ipnspain.biz myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks_style = subnet

Make sure
1) the mails reach your server at all (check  your postfix logs)
2) to what type of inbox postfix or the local delivery agent (often
procmail) delivers these mails : maildir, mbox, or /var/spool/mail
3) if dovecot looks in the right place (see above) for incoming mails.


Hope this helps,
