I'm trying to configure my server to receive and send mails. Sending mails is no problem, but there seems to be an issue receiving mails. I have this configuration working on my old server, but now I'm migrating to a new server, on which Dovecot 2 is installed, the configuration seems to fail. I keep getting following error logs in /var/log/syslog:
May 25 12:51:18 server postfix/smtpd[17208]: connect from localhost[::1]

Can this have anything to do with the upgrade to Dovecot 2 (I updated the config files). Postfix is built with support for dovecot, but I'm not sure whether this has to be compiled differently for version 2?
