&lt;snip&gt;<br>1) the mails reach your server at all (check&nbsp;&nbsp;your postfix logs)<br>That is my problem, the mails do not get back to my server at all. the maillog file only shows me the ountgoing mails but nothing which indicates that a mail from outside is coming.
<br>The only mails I receive are from the linux system as such (background kobs finished, etc...)<br><br>Again, the parameters I set are the following:<br>myhostname = <a href="http://srv01.ipnspain.biz">srv01.ipnspain.biz
</a><br>mydomain = <a href="http://ipnspain.biz">ipnspain.biz</a><br>myorigin = $mydomain<br>inet_interfaces = all<br>mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost<br>mynetworks_style = subnet<br>
<br>My firewall (INPUT only) looks like this:<br>Chain INPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)<br>&nbsp;pkts bytes target&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; prot opt in&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; out&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; source&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; destination<br>&nbsp; 195 37274 ACCEPT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; all&nbsp; --&nbsp; lo&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>Make sure<br>1) the mails reach your server at all (check&nbsp;&nbsp;your postfix logs)<br>2) to what type of inbox postfix or the local delivery agent (often<br>procmail) delivers these mails : maildir, mbox, or /var/spool/mail
<br>3) if dovecot looks in the right place (see above) for incoming mails.<br><br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Jakob Curdes<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
