Ubuntu: trouble setting up Mail Server

0

I was follwing the Guid @ http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.10. But I ran into some issues.

the first issue was: (mail.log)

Jan 19 21:52:07 ... imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jan 19 21:52:07 ... imapd: chdir example.eu/jan/: No such file or directory
Jan 19 21:52:07 ... imapd: jan@example.eu: No such file or directory

After a while of googling I found out that the folders are initialy created when I receive my first mail. -> So I sent one: (mail.log)

Jan 19 21:55:51 ... postfix/smtpd[1315]: connect from mx1.uni-trier.de[136.199.224.17]
Jan 19 21:55:51 ... postfix/trivial-rewrite[1278]: warning: do not list domain example.eu in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
Jan 19 21:55:51 ... postfix/smtpd[1315]: C0A1C231808A: client=mx1.uni-trier.de[136.199.224.17]
Jan 19 21:55:51 ... postfix/cleanup[1318]: C0A1C231808A: message-id=<964FCDEF-1A79-4EE0-A81C-4F8C34E28FEB@uni-trier.de>
Jan 19 21:55:51 ... postfix/qmgr[1177]: C0A1C231808A: from=<prvs=724bee520=XXX@uni-trier.de>, size=1179, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

For me it looks like the mail-server is receiving my mail but the sending account tells me: 

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below[...]

Do you have any idea why? I did it exactly the guide way.

Thanks in advance.

  1. main.cf, modify line 34, remove example.eu. Restart postfix

  2. Is there any /home/vmail/ directory?

  3. On the email server, does following command successfully delivery a email to the user?

    mail <username>

    Or step 14 on P4 of your link http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.10-p4

  4. Line 43, potential error in tutorial

    virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf

    Shoule be

    virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf

  5. Create Maildir manually

    mkdir /home/vmail/<username>
maildirmake /home/vmail/<username>/Maildir
chown -R 5000:5000 /home/vmail/<username>
