I just followed the desktop configuration guide and I can send mail, and I have set a squirrelmail plugin to receive mail from my pop3 mail server.. but I cannot user my linux server to receive incoming mail, can someone please tell me where I can go to get help, or what I would need to do to get the server to receive mail..
I am using, postfix, courier-imap, squirrelmail.. the stuff off dektop config guide
Thanks in advance

Check the /etc/postfix/main.cf file. The mydestination variable has to be set to the domain's MX :
| Code: |
mydomain = ferdyx.org
mydestination = $mydomain, localhost, localhost.$mydomain
|
Then restart postfix:
| Code: |
[bash]# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
|
And that's all.

What do the inbound messages bounce with?

First off, a POP server wouldn't affect inbound messages, as mail transmission is done by SMTP alone.
Second, "receipient unknown" means that the remote computer was reachable but that the username didn't exist. Check the e-mail address (make sure the account exists), see if you can e-mail it locally. Also, check the bounced messages -- they should list the IP of the machine that rejected the mail. Compare that with your computer to check that DNS is working okay.
