Oh and, you have to create the directory /var/mail/, chown it to
postfix:mail and chmod it to 770.

Excellent, you spotted an error in the guide. The error above just
says that you have the virtual_mailbox_base setting empty.

The guide mentions:

"(snip) virtual_mailbox_base directory which is unset by default. (snip)"

It relies on it to be:

virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/

Try it, do tell how did it go.

Argh, sorry, my bad: dovecot handles deliveries by itself; this
setting is therefore probably completely unnecessary in main.cf. But
to get Postfix not to complain about it, it either needs to be set to
correct directory, or removed completely.

(I based my previous assumption on my slightly modified configuration,
therefore it's not completely identical to the guide)

hey guy -- great tutorial. http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/

I got 2 questions:

1) i am getting the following error for smtp authentication:
stfix
Apr 7 18:27:54 rider postfix/smtpd[25403]: warning: SASL: Connect to
private/auth failed: No such file or directory
Apr 7 18:27:54 rider postfix/smtpd[25403]: fatal: no SASL authentication

/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -

2) If the user does not exist in the tables for virtual users aliasing or
virtual user domain, what is happening to that email ??? I see that the log
accepts the email..but do not see a trace of it anywhere...

thanks
mjh
